The MCFV 1680 vertical machining centre is a highly productive machine for the complex chip machining. The work table, whose upper surface serves for the workpiece clamping, moves in the longitudinal direction (X-axis) along the guideways on the cross saddle. The cross saddle moves along the guideways on the base in the cross direction (Y-axis). The spindle head moves in the vertical direction (Z-axis) along the guideways on the column. All ways are formed by linear guideways with rolling elements.
