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.

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.

Tool measuring
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.
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.
