The machine is of portal construction. The base is a solid polymer concrete which guarantees optimal absorption of machining and mass energy. The moving parts are mounted on highly stiff, frictionless linear guideways. This provides a highly durable and stick-slip-free motion for all running conditions.
The machining table is made of a well ribbed cast iron construction in which all transmission elements like supporting sufaces for guide carriage and the ball screw are integrated.
A weight optimized cast slide has been developed for the z-axis in order to enable a high cutting capacity when rough machining. Due to the box-form and good ribbing this spindle slide grants highest machine accuracy.
