Schuster F Series
The Schuster F Series comprises modular vertical turning cells designed for shafts and flange parts. Turrets, a center turning unit, counter spindle, NC tailstock, milling, grinding and hobbing units mount around one mineral cast column, so the same platform can become a turning, turn-mill, grinding or end machining cell. These machines are ideal for industries such as e-mobility, automotive and drive technology, where rotor and drive shafts need complete machining. Notable features include center turning and layouts that grow from a single machine to a full line.
Key Features of the Schuster F Series:
Modular turning cell platform.
Center turning for shafts.
Turning, milling, grinding, hobbing.
Scales to full production lines.
