What is the BZT PFE series?

For versatile CNC production in industry and sign making – precise, rigid and expandable. The PFE series is designed for numerous material machining tasks in professional CNC production – from CNC milling and engraving to prototype manufacturing and applications in sign making. With optional accessories such as a rotary axis, vacuum table or gantry riser, the machine can be expanded as required; five-sided machining is also optionally possible. High-quality components from renowned manufacturers are used, including linear guides and guide carriages from Bosch Rexroth as well as ball screws – for precise results even at high speeds. The robust steel construction ensures high rigidity and low-vibration operation.
