Swiss Lathes
-
Simultaneous machining with up to 3 tools (each tool with variable feed rate)
Clearly structured work area with large axis travels and wide tooling circles
Excellent accessibility through a large sliding cover
Easy changeover between sliding and fixed headstock operation
Very compact machine design with small footprint
Highest precision due to thermal symmetric machine structure
DualDrive: New tool drive system from TRAUB
High Production Lathes
- Vertical axis opposed electrospindles
- Compact rigid structure that incorporates mechanical and auxiliary components within a single unit
- Ergonomic architecture with very easy access to fixturing and tools for replacement
- Linear motors
