Features
Optimized Axis Performance
X/Y-Axes (Linear Guides): Experience blistering rapid traverse speeds and exceptional precision for intricate contouring, pocketing, and detailed work.
Z-Axis (Hardened Box Way): Benefit from massive vibration damping and supreme rigidity to withstand heavy vertical cutting forces, deep drilling thrust, and aggressive feed rates without deflection.
Unmatched Stability in Vertical Cutting
The hardened and scraped Z-axis way provides a vast contact surface, absorbing vibration and chatter far more effectively than linear guides alone. This is critical for deep cavity milling, large-diameter drilling, and heavy face milling, ensuring superior surface finish and protecting tool integrity.
The Best of Both Worlds
This hybrid configuration eliminates the compromise. You no longer have to choose between a machine that’s only fast for aluminum and one that’s only rigid for steel. Achieve high productivity across a broader range of materials and applications with a single, versatile investment.
Long-Term Durability Where It Matters Most
The Z-axis, which bears the entire weight of the headstock and endures the brunt of cutting forces, is built to last for decades with minimal wear. This design protects the most critical and stressed component of the machine, safeguarding your accuracy over the long haul.
Optional
Who Benefits Most
Versatile Job Shops & Contract Manufacturers
Scenario: Your workshop handles diverse, changing orders—a batch of aluminum components one day and a short run of steel parts the next.
Why It’s Ideal: This machine eliminates the need to choose between dedicated machines. It efficiently machines aluminum (leveraging the speed of X/Y linear guides) and tackles steel (utilizing the rigidity of the Z-axis box way), maximizing your Return on Investment and operational flexibility.
Mold & Die Manufacturing
Scenario: Producing medium-sized injection or die-cast molds requires both heavy-duty roughing of deep cavities and high-precision finishing of intricate details.
Why It’s Ideal: The rigid Z-axis hard way ensures absolute stability during deep, aggressive roughing, eliminating chatter and vibration. Simultaneously, the fast and precise X/Y linear guides deliver the flawless surface finish and accuracy required for fine detailing—all in a single setup.
Aerospace & Automotive Components
Scenario: Machining aluminum frames and housings that require high-speed milling, but which also feature steel inserts or require deep, precise drilling operations.
Why It’s Ideal: The hybrid structure provides the crucial flexibility to handle mixed-material components and a variety of operations, from rapid material removal to precision hole-making, without compromising performance.
Small-to-Medium Batch Production (Plates, Flanges, Housings)
Scenario: Manufacturing parts like machine panels, flanges, or gearbox housings involving face milling, drilling, tapping, and boring.
Why It’s Ideal: The rapid X/Y axes ensure efficient positioning and movement for faster cycle times. The powerful Z-axis guarantees hole perpendicularity, dimensional accuracy, and stability during drilling and tapping, especially in ferrous materials like iron and steel.
