Z -axis 300mm (Optional)  

With the Z-axis 300mm option, the travel of the Z-axis increases from 200 to 300mm. 
At the same time, the passage height between the bridge and the vacuum plate is correspondingly 
greater. Technically, the structure is identical to the 200 Z-axis.

Z -axis 400mm (Optional)  

With the Z-axis 400mm option, the travel of the Z-axis increases from 200 to 400mm. 
At the same time, the passage height between the bridge and the vacuum plate is correspondingly 
greater. 

The structure of the Z-axis differs from the two smaller variants. The hood is firmly connected to 
the Z-axis and moves up and down together with the HF spindle.

Cylinder for Z-axis support 

 

The cylinder is for supporting the Z-axis. 
The pressure is set to 

2-2.5 bar

 at the pressure control 

valve.

Tool  Holder  

 

Optionally, it is possible to equip the machine with different tool holders or Z-plates on the Z-axis.  

Thus, in addition to the standard RF spindle, many other tools can be attached to the  

Z-axis. For example, oscillating knives, milling spindles
