With axis strokes of 8,000 mm (X) × 4,500 mm (Y) × 1,500 mm (Z), the Powermill G3 PC3 is well-suited for machining large components. The 8,000 × 3,000 mm work surface, with a load capacity of up to 15,000 kg/m² (class II DIN 876), provides maximum stability during demanding operations.

The machine features a universal bi-rotary head with automatic positioning, 38-kW power, maximum torque of 615 Nm and speeds of up to 6,000 rpm, with ISO 50 tool attachment. This combination allows for a wide range of machining operations, from heavy roughing to precision finishing.

The Powermill G3 PC3 also includes a 60-position chain tool changer, a chip evacuation system, a cooling system and advanced solutions for the latest generation of tool and workpiece control. Specifically, the tool changer is fixed to the crossbeam shoulder. This system, combined with the sliding exchange arm, provides speed and reliability in tool replacement operations, optimizing cycle times. Chip evacuation with longitudinally
arranged ramp conveyors is quick and smooth. The cooling system, with dual delivery (near the spindle and through the spindle), boosts tool efficiency and longevity, supported by a multistage filtration system up to 25 μm.
