508PA
The 508PA is a 6- to 8-axis machining center with linear motors (milling and turning), dedicated primarily to the watchmaking sector.
Its high dynamics and thermal stability make it a highly productive machining center for the manufacture of high value-added parts in a single cycle: mainplates, bridges and movement components from bars, washers or trays.
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.


Absolute excellence in watch mainplate machining
- “Full Linear” technology for axes equipped with direct-drive motors
- High-performance motorized spindle with speeds of up to 42,000 rpm
- 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
