These horizontal machining centers are in widespread use around the world, from high-power, high-torque machines for titanium and other hard metals to agile, high-speed machines for machining aircraft components and parts made from the latest composite materials.
Both technologies (horizontal and vertical machines) can be utilized for high speed and heavy-duty applications and feature roller guideways (PowerMill, SuperProfiler, MasterMill and MasterSpeed from Ingersoll and Aries and Atlas Vision from Innse-Berardi) or can be used for heavy applications requiring hydrostatic technology (Aries and Atlas Hydro, Innse-Berardi).
