Rigid Box Way Design
Hi-TECH 550 incorporates rigid box way design which makes it an ideal turning center for heavy duty turning. It’s available as standard, long or extra long version for extra-long workpieces, with programmable tailstock and steady rest for higher stability and precision. Machining precision is enhanced even further if the Hi-TECH 550’s axes are installed with highly accurate linear glass scales; the fast turret indexing time of 0.2 seconds per step will increase your productivity.
