System competence for mechanical engineering Printed circuits are processed on the 4-axis drilling and milling center in portal construc-tion. This machine sets standards in its class for efficiency and precision at high operatingrates and low maintenance. The carriage drives are highly dynamic. Despite the resultingforces and moments on the frame and the guideways, the positioning accuracies of thedrill heads are guaranteed in the µm range. For the frame this means extremely high demands on the thermal stability and rigidity under high humid conditions.The chosen integration of the mineral casting product line with SCHNEEBERGER LinearTechnology fulfils these high demands to perfection.Our MONORAILs have also proven themselves through their high rigidity, great dynamicand static loading capacity, quiet running and universal sealing of the carriage. For the user, the MONORAIL is an economical guideway that fully meets all the demands made by modern mechanical engineering. • 6
