CNC & PRECISION MACHINE PRODUCTS

CNC machine tools by series

CNC machine tools for job shops, mold makers and production plants: CNC lathes and turning centers, vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers and milling machines, and gantry machining centers, from compact high-speed models to large 5-axis gantry mills. Each series page explains how to choose, and each model links to its own specifications.

Choose the machine type

• CNC lathes and turning centers — shafts, flanges, discs and other round parts, including turn-mill and vertical turning.
• Vertical machining centers — molds, plates, housings and general precision parts, 3-axis and 5-axis.
• Horizontal machining centers and milling machines — housings, valve bodies and gearboxes machined on several faces, and long or heavy parts on traveling-column machines.
• Gantry machining centers — large molds, machine beds, frames and structural parts.

What to send for a quotation

Send the part drawing or 3D model, the material, the largest part size and weight, the batch size, the tolerance and the CNC control you prefer.

FAQ

Lathe or machining center?

A lathe turns round parts while the part rotates; a machining center mills, drills and taps prismatic parts while the tool rotates. Turn-mill centers combine both for parts that need turning and milling.

What does a CNC machine need on site?

A power supply matched to the machine rating, compressed air for the tool changer and doors, a level floor or a planned foundation for large machines, and a stable room temperature for precision work.

Which CNC controls are available?

FANUC, Siemens and HEIDENHAIN controls are offered on different models. Choose the control your programmers and service team already know.
