- Solid column construction with high grade Meehanite casting combined with induction hardened slide ways ground to a super finish.
- Solid box guide ways deliver maximum anti-vibration capabilities and overall longer machine tool life.
- Hand craftsmanship ensures high quality and attention to detail in the manufacturing process
- Zero overhang design allows “Mycenters” to deliver peak accuracy 2-3 times longer than Machining Centers with table overhang
Solid Box Guide Ways
Solid box ways provide the full surface contact required to carry heavy loads, withstand the extreme demands of heavy duty cutting, all the while assuring the highest degree of accuracy and precision. Designed to deliver maximum anti-vibration capabilities under high-speed rapid feed rates, box ways offer improvements in overall surface quality and longer tool life, reducing cycle times and overall costs for optimum machining efficiency.
- Box ways are induction hardened in-house and precision ground with a turcite coating on the mating surface.
- Provides for maximum surface contact and exceptional anti-vibration capabilities under WOLD’S FASTEST rapid feedrates of 60m/min (2,362ipm).
- Solid box ways offer the user heavier cutting abilities, better surface finished and overall longer tool life.
