Weingärtner’s experienced employees have exceeded themselves when it comes to the new product that the company is bringing to market. The company management had the vision to develop and build an extra-large complete machining center. This became reality as part of an order they received from one of the world’s leading energy companies.
During the project phase and given the client’s large range of parts, it quickly became clear that the new Weingärtner flagship mpmc 2000 would be needed. This extraordinary piece of Austrian engineering features as already given in the designation, a maximum turning diameter of 2000 mm. The huge dimensions are complimented by the maximum workpiece load capacity between chuck and tailstock of 60,000 kg. This is equivalent to a fully loaded freight car. The special developed and in-house produced “Weingärtner steady rests”, enable the machining center to bear the full workpiece load even without the support of the tailstock. This characteristic is necessary to make face turning run just like all other boring and internal machining operations.
