        Machine description

        „C“ stands for Lathes, and the additional „M“ for Center Drive Lathes.

        Both concepts are build using the same vertical „V“- platform in different nominal lengths. Where workpieces can be tensed in the middle, center drive lathes are convincing with the simultaneous machining of both ends of the workpiece in a single setting. Through simultaneous processing of both ends of the workpiece, a second setting is no longer needed, therefore a high concentricity and running precision is guaranteed. The increase of production quality goes hand in hand with shortest processing times.

        A new definition of efficiency and precision: The center drive
        By using the center drive technology it is possible to process workpieces simultaneously at both ends with two tool systems - and all of this, without the need to re-chuck.
        The machine can be equipped and operated with one (short workpieces), or two center drive headstocks (longer workpieces).

        The modular construction starts with the vertically arranged machine bed, which is manufactured in different bed lengths. Three construction sizes of center drive headstocks round up the the construction set.

        Machine description

        „C“ stands for Lathes and the additional „M“ for Center Drives Lathes.

        Both concepts are based on the same platform. Where workpieces can be tensed in the middle, center drive lathes are convincing with the simultaneous machining of both ends of the workpiece in a single setting.
        Design:
        • 6-Pathbed machine in 2 nominal lenghts for workpiece lenghts up to 900mm
        • As single spindle or counter spindle lathe series C200
        • As center drive lathes with one or two drive headstocks series CM200
        • Center drive headstocks are also NC - movable
        • New, fixed cover systems

        Use all possibilities of the 200 series
        The center drive technology is especially suited for high demands to the concentricity of the left to the right workpiece side, in regards to the total concentricity, roundness, general concentricity and positional tolerances.

        With the CM200 series it is possible to unite the centering, overtightening and the crosscutting of workpieces. During revs up to 5.000 min ־¹ four workpieces can be used simultaneously. The piece/cycle times can be reduced enormously - compared to common systems - by using the integrated loading and unloading system.

        The C200/ CM200 series stands as a customized complete solution and convinces by minimal piece/cycle times.
