Four standard platforms

Standard Machines

Start with a defined machine platform, then match the tooling, fixture and loading arrangement to your part.

Each platform addresses a different machining layout. Review the part geometry and required operation before comparing capacity.

At a glance

Compare the four platforms

Capacity depends on material, tooling and spindle arrangement. Product pages separate catalog values from details that require a part review.

Compare machine platforms, processes, application fit and the information needed for selection.

Standard platform, application-specific setup. Standard does not mean in stock or ready for every part. Tooling, workholding and loading still need to be confirmed. Automatic machining does not by itself include automatic loading.
