Does ‘compact class' mean you have to sacrifice performance and user comfort in favour of affordability? Not with our T12. Even the basic model of this MARTIN compact spindle moulder offers a broad range of optional features and a modern control system that are unique in this price class. Whether for small workshops or for industrial applications, as an entry-level model or an efficient addition to a machining centre.

The control technology of the new T12 compact spindle moulder is like that on all other MARTIN machines: highly functional and easy to operate. The modern Touch-Screen control system is positioned ergonomically at eye-level and helps to reduce set-up times markedly. So the operator can, for example, comfortably adjust the cutting height via the touch-sensitive screen. Additional optional accessories can be added so that the ‘cutting depth (stop)' and the ‘cut (infeed jaw)' axes can be integrated into the controls as well, making the T12 a 3-axis spindle moulder.

Small but powerful

The mechanical elements of the T12 are of very high quality and designed for durability. And even though the T12 seems to be quite small and light, the machine frame is a heavy compact compound construction. With a total weight of 950 kilos,

it offers the best possible foundation for every job.

Compact, correct, comfortable

With such a comprehensive array of features even in the basic version, the T12 is the ideal entry-level machine with premium qualities. Plus the many additional optional accessories can make the T12 a spindle moulder for the most demanding requirements – to mention just one of the many options, the ability to attain a continuous speed of 1,000 up to 12,000 revolutions/min. The basic version comes with the tried-and-tested original MARTIN DornFix system but it can also be equipped with the HSK tool-free clamping system. Along with the HSK 85 "PowerLock" the HSK 63F can also be added, thus making the T12 the ideal addition to a CNC machining centre.

The most outstanding feature of the T12's fence is the sophisticated bilateral guidance system which allows a uniquely high degree of precision for a compact-class machine – it is capable of a repetition accuracy of ± 0.025 mm. For special moulding jobs, e.g. for curved mouldings, the fence can be removed very quickly and easily and then be remounted just as easily. Robust but very exact mechanical fittings make time-consuming re-adjustments unnecessary.
