CNC metal processing lathe, Knuth Vector 850 M SI

CNC metal processing lathe, Knuth Vector 850 M SI

Manufacturer: Knuth, Germany

Vector series machines are compact, and almost anything can be processed with their help. They are designed and prepared to overcome complex production challenges. The machine is designed based on the latest FED analysis software. During production, they were carefully checked, according to the strictest requirements, so that the final product would ensure only the highest quality. Additional delta construction for the main columns provides additional stability to the entire frame structure. Robust components of the highest quality ensure smooth operation even during multiple shifts.
