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.

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 speed3500rpm
- Spindle torque1050 / 883.8Nm
- Spindle speed2500rpm
- Spindle speed1800rpm
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.

Counter Spindle
Precision in Every Dimension: Lathes with a counter spindle enable back-side machining of workpieces and can alternatively be used as an NC tailstock. This back-side machining saves time and effort by eliminating the need for re-clamping on another machine. It also improves precision since the workpiece does not need realignment. For enhanced process stability and safe ejection of finished workpieces, optional pneumatic or mechanical ejectors and spindle flushing can be added.
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 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.
