408PA
The 408PA is a 6- to 8-axis machining center (milling and turning), dedicated primarily to the watchmaking sector and enabling the machining of mainplates, bridges and movement components in a single cycle, from bars, washers or barquettes.
Thanks to its automatic pick-up unit mounted on a vertical slide, it allows double-sided machining, turning operations as well as milling and contour milling thanks to a high-precision micro vise.


Excellence in watch mainplate machining
- High-performance motorized spindle with speeds of up to 42,000 rpm
- Optimal compactness with integrated components, limiting the footprint to just 3 m².
- Pick-up unit mounted on a vertical slide, with turning speeds of up to 6,000 rpm
- Maximum capacity of 96 on-board tools, to optimize machining rates
