The CNC controlled processing machines of the
GFV/GFY series guarantee a maximum of economy by most varied application ranges up to series production.
Unique at the market: The same if standard unit or
extended unit. As a result of modular and flexible
structure of the individual components unbelievable combination options arise. Therefore a selected
CNC system is literally suit to the needs of the customer and to respective application.
By own manufacturing oft he most important mechanical and electronic components the flat bed
systems provide an unusual cost-performance ratio for milling, engraving, drilling, processing with
the rotational axis and laser digitization. Due to
theit design they provide highest precision in the
materials aluminium, brass, milling plastics (Ureol,
CibaTool), plastics and wood and much more.

The machine series MMF was developed particularly for the model, prototype and mould making. High structure rigidity was the centre of attention thereby - this results from the solid
structure. Equipped with a rotary swivelling unit as
4th and 5th axis the MMF is suitable optimally for
the five-axis-treatment and milling large volume
work pieces.
The combination of functions like e.g. jerk control,
speed and acceleration pilot control, Look ahead
path control and carrying of tool orientation, permits best technology utilization and adjustment
to changing requirements, to speed, accuracy and
surface quality.

THE ULTIMATE
CAD/CAM PACKAGE
Advance by 5 axis technology
Special in the model and mould making 5 axis milling is on everyone's lip - manufacturing processes could be clearly optimized by
this technology. One could archieve these advantages however
only if both the CNC machine and the control know higher path
feed motions.
Furthermore the machine system consisting of cartesian linear axis
and rotary axis has to be adapted to the respective application.
By our well-known flexible and modular axis combinations and our
special rotary units, based on highly precise Harmonic DRIVE gear,
various applications can be realized. Many combinations are conceivably: if rotary / swiveling axis at the machine table or units with
engaged tool axis.
The powerful software functions of isy CAM 3,2 support beyond
that all possible multi-side working on, 3+2 axis applications or 5
axis simultaneous milling.

3D laser digitalization at the same machine
Measuring technique at the machine increases your productivity
By the extension of the CNC machine with the two 3D scanners
CONOPROBE and ShapeTracer you transform your CNC system
into a contactless digitizing / measuring machine.
With these highly precise measuring instruments free forming surfaces with most different surfaces in impressive quality could be collected .And by the smoothly merging into surface feedback software
PointMaster , even complex geometry forms with newest 3D reconstruction functions will be generated. This High end solution is the ideal
addition for the scopes reverse engineering, prototyping, mould making,
design model making and 3D measurement.
All users, who have to create a CAD data
set from a master form or a hand sample, will
be supported by the combination CNC machine, laser and PointMaster with the necessary tools.
APPLICATIONS::
:: 3D form scanning and CAD subsequent treatment
:: Registration (3D co-ordinates arrangement from scanning to CAD
model)
:: Surface feedback (IGES data generation)
:: 3D measuring and analysis technology (target/actual
comparison)
