Tradition Meets Modernity

Flat Guides

Excellent Damping Properties: Box or flat guides effectively absorb vibrations from the machining process by transferring them into the machine bed due to their large contact surface. Hand-fitted and scraped by experienced staff, these guides ensure precision. Central oil lubrication provides continuous lubrication with bedway oil, while the Turcite coating on the sliding surface offers excellent emergency running properties. Machines with flat guides are more durable and can handle higher chip volumes. Thanks to these unique features, they are considered particularly powerful and reliable.

Extra Large Hollow Spindle

Perfect for Tube Machining: BigBore lathes impress with their large hollow spindle diameter, allowing large workpiece diameters to be loaded or unloaded through the spindle or deeply clamped. They excel particularly in machining large tubes, utilizing pneumatic power chucks on both the front and rear sides of the spindle.
Max. Bar size | mm | 295 - 370 |
Wide Turret Disk

Maximum Stability and Precision for Your Tools!: Our wide double-row turret enables the use of particularly long turning and boring tools, secured with two holders for significantly higher holding torque. This design effectively reduces vibrations, improves tool life, and optimizes surface quality, making it process-reliable and cost-effective, especially for large length-to-diameter ratios. Even standard turning operations benefit from the superior stability of the wide turret disk, while actively vibration-damping tools can be integrated.

Powerful Gear Spindle
High-Torque Drives for Heavy Machining: Lathes with gear spindles offer significantly higher torque than those with motor spindles. By selecting the appropriate gear ratio, torque can be optimally utilized within the speed range of the ideal cutting speed. Large spindle bearings and shaft diameters robustly absorb process forces and peaks, ensuring high durability. The gear stage can be conveniently selected via M-functions.

- Spindle speed750rpm
- Spindle torque(30 min./konst.)8590.7 / 7070.7Nm
Y-Axis
Greater Flexibility and Time Savings: Lathes with a Y-axis enable 3-axis interpolation movements and the creation of off-center bores and milling operations. This allows workpieces to be fully machined in a single setup, eliminating operations on other machines and increasing machining accuracy. Additionally, they optimize grooving and parting processes by reducing lever forces for faster workflows.

Driven Tools
Precision and Versatility Combined: Driven tools on lathes significantly expand machining capabilities. They enable milling, drilling, and other processes directly on the lathe, reducing re-clamping operations and minimizing downtime. Using various tools in a single setup increases machining accuracy and boosts overall productivity.
Steady Rest Carriage
Stability for Precise Results: The steady rest ensures maximum precision for long workpieces through optimal support. It reduces vibrations, improves surface quality, and enables precise machining even for demanding projects.
High-Quality Spindle
Consistent Cooling and Lubrication for Maximum Precision: Our in-house manufactured spindles are cooled and lubricated by an innovative air-oil aerosol system, while temperature sensors ensure constant monitoring. This advanced technology guarantees exceptional durability and outstanding smoothness. Experience maximum precision with minimal thermal growth for consistent performance even under the most demanding conditions.
Internal Coolant Supply
ICS Makes the Difference!: The internal coolant supply (ICS) delivers coolant directly to the cutting edge, optimizing lubrication and chip removal. It boosts productivity, extends tool life, and enhances process reliability.
High-Quality Pretensioned Ball Screws
Thermal Stability for Precision and Reliability: Pretensioned ball screws reliably and stably compensate for thermal expansion. This technology prevents unwanted elongation of the spindles, ensuring lasting precision and consistently high machining accuracy over extended operating periods.
Excellent Chip Disposal
Perfect Chip Removal for Your Machine!: Our innovative chip disposal systems reliably remove chips, reduce heat, and optimize machining. High-quality components ensure uninterrupted operation and maximum process reliability.
