Monforts machine tools - powerful, accurate, always geared towards customer benefits
The name Monforts stands for high
precisionpermanent
accuracy and
longevity
CNC high performance lathes, the strengths of which are
particularly evident in hard turning.
The basis for these properties is the hydrostatic round
guide on all our machines, which, thanks to its freedom from
wear and optimised vibration damping, delivers the best
surface results for turning, milling, drilling and thread
cutting in the long term.
The MONFORTS product range concentrates on applications in
demanding niche markets. High performance cutting in highest
accuracy, from 2 to 5 interpolating CNC axes.
MONFORTS serves the premium manufacturers of the aviation,
automotive, transmission and pump industries as well as
other demanding and innovative industries. Typical
applications are: demanding turbine wheels made of titanium
or Inconel. But also engine crankshafts made of alloyed
steel for trucks, punches, sintered materials, as well as
all imaginable machining tasks.
