Its robust gantry structure, combined with high dynamic performance, makes it an indispensable solution for industries requiring machining of components exceeding standard size limitations. Unlike conventional machining centers, this gantry system offers exceptional rigidity across extended travel ranges, ensuring consistent accuracy even when processing workpieces weighing up to 150,000 kg — a capability that redefines productivity in heavy manufacturing sectors .

The machine features a double-column gantry design with a one-piece cast iron base, eliminating structural deformation during high-load operations. This architecture provides superior vibration damping, critical for maintaining precision in long-duration machining cycles.
Equipped with a 50 kW high-torque spindle, the gantry center delivers consistent power across its speed range (50-3,000 RPM), enabling efficient roughing and finishing of tough materials like alloy steel and cast iron . Optional 30,000 RPM high-speed spindles cater to applications demanding fine surface finishes.
Driven by precision servo motors, the X/Y/Z axes achieve rapid traverse rates of 7,500 mm/min on X-axis, ensuring minimal non-cutting time during large part positioning. The thermosymmetric design with active cooling systems minimizes thermal expansion effects on accuracy .
