USC-M Series Milling and Drilling Centers

For industry-leading mold manufacturers who are looking to re-define moldmaking from design to production, the USC-M series brings unmatched capabilities in a single, game-changing machine. Combining deep hole drilling and machining processes on a powerful, 7-axis machine allows manufacturers to change the way they produce molds from the ground up.

USC-M deep hole drilling and machining centers radically change the mold making process by combining gundrilling, BTA drilling, and up to 120 tools in a single, guarded machine, with a heavy-duty rotating table and tilting A-axis, for increased accuracy in production, and significantly increased mold throughput.
