High-productive and space-saving short-turning machine
The new production turning machine TRAUB TNK40 is a pure short-turner, developed based on the long-turning machine TNL32 compact.

Due to the low-vibration bar feed, the machine achieves a higher overall stiffness than the long-turning execution and thus more dynamics.
