quality
Solid machine construction, sound process experience, a
wealth of milling expertise – these are the basic ingredients
for our F series 5-axis machining centres. The benefits to you
are obvious: 5-axis machining with maximum output and top
quality, even during continuous operation. The F series is the
right choice for anyone wanting to perform numerous functions
on one machine and produce reliably, not just today but in the
future too.
