Our 5-axis CNC milling machines – including portal mills, gantry mills, rotary table mills, and bridge mills – process plastics, CFRP, GFRP, carbon, model-making materials, foams, leather, and aluminum precisely and efficiently. They are ideal for prototyping, series production, and high-volume manufacturing.
Our solutions are used in the automotive industry, aerospace, boat building, leisure industry, piping systems, and many other sectors.
The modular system allows you to individually configure every CNC milling machine: from spindle technology, tool changers, tool monitoring, and breakage detection, to dust extraction and robot loading. Automated CNC machining, remote maintenance, and Industry 4.0 connectivity are also available.
You receive a CNC machine that perfectly matches your material, production volume, level of automation, and production environment – for maximum efficiency.
A custom CNC machine – often as a portal, gantry, or bridge mill – is recommended for very large workpieces, special machining angles, complex 3D geometries, or advanced automation requirements (e.g., robot loading, inline integration).
We develop tailor-made solutions, precisely designed for your tasks – from prototyping to high-volume production.

Our machines are equipped with modern tool monitoring and breakage detection. Systems such as the Renishaw TS 27 R measure tool length, condition, and breakage, ensuring your production runs safely and with consistent quality – even in fully automatic operation.
For machining CFRP, GFRP, carbon, plastics, and other materials, we offer powerful, closed dust extraction systems. These capture nearly 100% of fine dust directly at the source – available as an option for all materials and machine types. This provides optimal protection for staff, workshops, and the machine control system.

👉 To stock machines
Yes, we develop turnkey automation solutions for our CNC machining centers – from robot integration and custom gripper and clamping technology to CNC programming. Depending on your requirements, we automate the loading and unloading of machines with industrial robots, cobots, shuttle systems, or mobile racks. Existing systems can also be retrofitted. This increases productivity, reduces personnel costs, and ensures consistently high machining quality – regardless of batch size.
