Both machines offer rigid boxway construction with integral flame-hardened ways. Steinmeyer ETA+ dual-mounted ballscrews optimize machine stiffness and virtually eliminate reversal error. Rapid traverse is 1,000 ipm with a cutting feed rate as fast as 800 ipm. X-, Y- and Z-axis travel on the 3016 is 30" × 16" × 20". The 4020 increases the working envelope with X-, Y- and Z- axis travel of 40" × 20" × 20".

Applications range from die and mold machining to part production in the automotive, aerospace, medical and other industries.
