Workpiece envelope
Machine travel or turning range is only the first check. Fixture space, tool access, shape and workpiece weight also affect feasibility.

CNC Equipment & Working Ranges
Review our CNC turning and milling equipment and approximate working ranges. Final machine fit is assessed from the complete drawing, including fixture space and feature access.

Equipment and working ranges.
Use these approximate ranges for an initial fit check. Workholding, tool access and part geometry are reviewed before quotation.
Tolerance: Up to ±0.01 mm, depending on geometry, material and drawing requirements.
Range review: Parts outside the listed in-house working ranges require a separate manufacturing review.
| Equipment | Process | Approximate range | Typical geometry |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNC Lathe 6150 | CNC turning | Approximately Ø250 × 1,000 mm | Long shafts, sleeves and rotational parts |
| CNC Lathe 6180 | Heavy CNC turning | Approximately Ø800 × 3,000 mm | Larger diameters and extended workpieces |
| CNC 3-Axis Machining Center 850 | 3-axis CNC milling | Approximately 850 × 500 × 600 mm travel | Plates, housings, brackets and prismatic parts |
| CNC 4-Axis Machining Center 1160 | 4-axis CNC milling | Approximately 1,100 × 600 × 700 mm travel | Multi-face features with fewer setups |
| Conventional Machining Equipment | Turning, milling and grinding support | Reviewed against the drawing | Supporting operations, repair work and flexible process planning |

02 Drawing review
The complete part determines machine fit.
Machine range is the starting point. Geometry, datums, fixture space and the production requirement determine a suitable machining plan.
Critical tolerances
Identify the dimensions that control fit or function so the process and inspection plan can be reviewed around them.
Datum relationships
Features on different faces or setups must be assessed as one controlled system rather than as isolated dimensions.
Production requirement
Quantity, repeat-order pattern, finish and required date influence workholding, process sequence and quotation.
