FAQs
FAQs
Q1: Can I cut steel with heavy cuts?
Yes. The ISO-40 spindle, 105 mm quill, and rigid knee casting support robust cuts with appropriate tooling and parameters.
Q2: Is the DRO pre-installed?
Yes—3-axis (X/Y/Z-knee) with 0.001 mm resolution is standard and calibrated.
Q3: Does it have automatic lubrication?
Yes—automatic centralized lubrication is standard for critical ways and screws.
Q4: What’s the maximum workpiece load?
Up to 700 kg on the table.
Q5: Can you install and train our team?
Yes—installation, calibration, and operator training are available on site.
