Breton Hawx is delivered preassembled with a prewired electrical cabinet. Once the customer has positioned the machine, only the front housings remain to be fitted. The entire assembly and start-up procedure takes just 5 days: in the first 3 days the machine is unloaded, anchored, and completed, start-up takes place on day 4 while day 5 is reserved for training. Hawx can be easily relocated on the customer's site to accommodate possible changes to the production layout.

The right combination of robustness and stability makes the machine ideal for milling and trimming operations at high speed on parts with complex 3D shapes made of lightweight alloy, resin, or composite materials.

Reasons why
The robustness and repeatability that was lacking
Built to exceed the usual limitations of its category: reduced robustness and poor repeatability in time.
Thanks to the optimised design, Breton Hawx is stiffer and more stable while also guaranteeing an excellent size to work area ratio. The machine can be easily inserted in all types of workshops as it arrives already assembled and tested; it does not require special foundations and start-up times are reduced to the minimum.
The arc welded monolithic load-bearing structure is the core of the machine, imparting robustness and allowing easy handling.
The unique nature of the box-in-box architecture guarantees a marked increase in stiffness of the bridge-carriage-RAM unit and combines with the high strength of the new Hornet head to greatly increase the rate of removal and accuracy, all with the maximum dynamics.
The innovative offset geometry of the head also makes it possible to increase machinable volumes while minimising the machine's outside dimensions, simultaneously improving access to the workpiece.
