Counterbalance cylinder and direct-drive ball screw:
Vertical drive made up of the ball screw and direct-drive motor. Direct or telescopic counterbalance cylinder to reduce the overall height of the assembly.
Ram and saddle guiding:
The ram is guided in the generously dimensioned cast-iron saddle, allowing higher machining forces.
Pads:
The pads, located on the hypotenuse of the triangle, distribute the forces towards the column-saddle surface.
A machine designed for machining large workpieces while optimising production through pendulum machining. Various accessories can be added, such as rotary tables and turning options.
