Performance, precision, ease of operation and, last but not least, ease of servicing characterise this new generation of portal milling machines in table design. The machine bed, table, column, connecting part and cross beam are made of high-quality cast iron. The cross beam is infinitely adjustable. A gearless direct drive with a high nominal speed (550 rpm) is used for the milling drive, a highlight of the machine. The proven MASTERHEAD interface has been extended for 2-axis NC heads with motor spindles to cover applications in the aerospace sector as well as mould and tool making. The new development of the table is based on bionic findings and is designed with a special honeycomb structure. It is therefore particularly dimensionally stable and yet weight-optimised.

Modular design principle
Gearless drilling and milling drive with torque motor
All axes are centrally lubricated linear guide systems
MASTERHEAD principle - flexible up to 5-axis simultaneous machining
The latest, energy-efficient servo drives
Direct, absolute measuring systems in all axes for maximum accuracy
