The range of LAGUN CNC Bed Mills has also been recently extended to offer machining solutions to a wider range of manufacturing situations. Either with traditional traveling table GBM with heavy duty box ways with turcite, or if speed is more important, there is the COSMOS/MASTER range giving increased speed and accuracy though the use of Linear Guide Ways or the GALAXY range giving the best of both, Box way construction and roller shoes. Either way, the extensive range will have something for all machining solutions.
For heavier components, the new CM Range (based on the GBM/GALAXY column and ram) has a solid table allowing component weights of 3.5 tonne/m2.
