BURKHARDT+WEBER MCX
The latest version of the successful MCX machining centres, with a well-conceived classification into 9 different types with 1,500 to 4,800 mm swing diameter and 1,500 to 20,000 kg payload. Robust sizing and performance, rapid traversing speeds of up to 65 m/min and acceleration to 5 m/s² ensure outstanding dynamics and short downtimes. A top-class machining centre that leaves nothing to be desired.

Dynamics and power for universal use. All MCX machining centres are robustly dimensioned, featuring high-torque spindle units and preloaded precision ball-screw drives or, in the case of very large travel ranges, a high-precision rack-and-pinion drive. This guarantees high long-term accuracy, even in the case of rough machining combined with fine machining.
- Powerful and robustly dimensioned
- Strictest quality controls
- 24-hour load spectrum on BW test stand with programmable counter-loads
- Pallet loads from 1,500 kg to 20,000 kg
- Particularly high tilting and tangential moments due to low table design and generously dimensioned axial roller bearings and holding brakes for optimum machining performance and excellent geometric results
- For pallet loads over 12,000 kg, all tables have hydrostatic axial and radial bearings
