Bases

• The Nanoform® 350 machine utilizes a completely sealed natural impala granite base to ensure maximum rigidity and thermal stability.

• The base is isolated from its fabricated steel frame through the use of a three-point passive vibration isolation system.

• The Nanoform® 350 also includes a full upper enclosure.

The granite base has outside dimensions of 975mm x 122mm x 300mm (39" x 48" x 12")
• Actual machine dimensions with enclosure: 1437mm x 1930mm x 2043mm (57" x 76 " x 80 ")
• A stainless steel coolant tray is beneath the base.
• A fabricated steel frame surrounds the base and spports the upper machine tool enclosure.
