Rapid traverse rates reach 1,692 IPM on X/Y and 1,417 IPM on Z. The XR1000 is built on a grey cast-iron base with 45mm linear roller guideways on all axes. Standard equipment includes flood coolant, through-spindle coolant, automatic lubrication, and chip conveyor. Machine weight is approximately 15,400 lbs and overall footprint is approximately 128 inches by 118 inches.
