CNC Turning Centre – ACE Supper JOBBER
CNC turning centers replace certain conventional machine tools. They replace a lathe. You probably know what a lathe is and/or have seen one in use. If so, you know that the primary function is to remove material from a rotating work piece with a relatively stationary cutting tool.
The cost of this CNC Turning Centre is Rs.26, 00,000/-
CNC Vertical Machining Centre (VMC) – YCM EV1020A
A Vertical Machining Center (VMC) is a machining center with its spindle in a vertical orientation. High-end VMCs are high-precision machines often used for tight-tolerance milling, such as fine die and mold work. In particular, we have
- Injection Mold
- Plastic Mold
- Rubber Mold
- 3D Mold
- Press Tools
- Fixtures
- Pattern Mold
CNC Vertical Machining Centre (VMC) – YCM EV1020A
This CNC VMC (YCM) that operates with high precision is imported from Taiwan and costs Rs.75, 00,000/-
