Bases

• The Nanoform® 700 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® 700 also includes a full upper enclosure.

The granite base has outside dimensions of 975mm x 1200mm x 500mm (39" x 48" x 20")
• 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.
• The base is isolated from the frame by solid vibration isolation supports the machine frame is supported by leveling type rubber isolation suports.
