High

• Use of solid base supports with backlash-free profile rail guides
• Optimized machine design with low leverage forces
• Axis drives with high torque
• Low vibration

Low

• No solid base supports (partly sheet metal construction)
• Use of shaft guides (deflection under load)
• Use of very small bearing and guide elements
• Construction leads to increased vibrations

 High

• Use of precision-machined base supports
• Preloaded recirculating ball screw drives
• High accuracy of the machine geometry (angularity, parallelism, flatness)

Low

• No precision-machined base supports or sheet metal parts (flatness errors)
• Guide elements partially screwed directly onto sheet metal parts
• Design-related and incorrect machine geometry

High precision and performance

• Precise Harmonic-Drive gearbox (backlash-free)
• High bearing rigidity due to preload of the bearing units
• High torques possible due to high reduction ratio

Low precision and performance

• Partly without gearbox (mounting directly on motor shaft) leads to low rigidity and thus to deflections under load
• Low torques, as there is no gear reduction

High precision and performance

• High concentricity
• Centrically clamping tool holder
• Speeds of up to 60,000 rpm possible
• High cutting speeds and feed rates can be realized
• High rigidity thanks to the use of large ceramic spindle bearings

Low precision and performance

• Low concentricity due to non-centric clamping of the tool holder
• Low concentricity leads to high tool wear
• Speeds too low (<18,000 rpm) and therefore cutting speeds and feed rates too low
• Low spindle rigidity due to the use of very small spindle bearings (deflection)

Very high

• Due to the high precision of the milling spindle (concentricity) and high structural stability
• Optimum cutting data for the tools thanks to adjustable speed
• Tool cooling and lubrication available (VEROMILL)

Low

• Due to low precision of the milling spindle (concentricity error)
• Due to low machine stability (vibrations)
• No optimum cutting data for the tools due to partially non-adjustable speed ranges

Electronic

• Patented electronic height correction
• Automatic measurement of surfaces
• Optimum cutting depth (several individual cutting depths lead to the total engraving depth)
• No manual adjustment of the engraving depth necessary
• No readjustment necessary
• No scratches on surfaces (abrasive sleeve)

Mechanical

• Mechanical engraving depth regulator
• Engraving depth must be set manually
• Re-adjustment of the depth cuts necessary
• High tool wear as the cutting depth is usually too high
• Scratches can occur on the workpiece surfaces due to the abrasive sleeve of the engraving depth regulator

Yes

• Modern and elegant machine housing with front lift door
• Very low noise emission
• Protection against dust and soiling of the machine elements provided
• Precious metals and chips collect in the machine and can be removed quickly and easily

No

• High noise emission
• No protection against dust and dirt
• Precious metals and chips spread throughout the entire environment and have to be laboriously collected

High precision

• Precise clamping elements with high repeat accuracy
• Precise workpiece zero points (e.g. ring centers)
• Stable and strong clamping thanks to innovative clamping jaw geometry (no shrink sleeves required)

Low precision

• Low precision and repeat accuracy
• Ring centers are not approached precisely, among other things
• Shrink tubes required for 3-jaw chucks (quirks, slipping)
