VELTRIX MICROCENTER MC-980
The ultra-compact multi-process solution designed for productivity.



The MC-980 is a multi-process machining center with linear motors and Direct Drive rotary axes, designed for machining complex, high-precision parts from bar stock or in piece-by-piece production. Its high dynamics, thermal stability, and energy optimization make it a particularly effective solution for manufacturing high value-added parts requiring precision and surface quality. Advanced kinematics and a high-speed motorized spindle enable combined milling and turning operations with great precision and versatility, all within an ultra-compact footprint built for productivity.
