Tradition Meets Modernity
Dynamic Linear Guides
Speed and Dynamics Combined: Linear roller guides provide high dynamics and rapid traverse speeds. The workpiece weight is transferred linearly to the rollers, which must withstand enormous pressure at contact points. Therefore, we exclusively use linear roller guides from renowned manufacturers.
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.

Tool measuring
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 power22 / 18.5kW
- Spindle speed2500rpm
- Spindle torque547.8 / 461.1Nm
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.
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.

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.
