These machining centres are extremely, compact [models fz 12s, fz 12w] of moving column for manufacturing high quality component at low unit cost. These models are designed and developed for high speed cutting. Advanced functions include tool change in 0.8 secs, chip-to-chip tool change time of only 19 seconds, with rate of positioning for spindle at 40 m/mm. These high speed vertical machining centres are best suited for production systems for high volume industries.
