Why MC 42?
Large centre opening, free access
The large opening in the centre allows variable transverse movements; free access to all tool stations eases set-up, adjustment and servicing.
High availability
Rapid tool changeovers and short resetting times; operation via the VariControl VC 1 control.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the MC 42, the MC 82 and the MC 120?
All three are Multicenter machines with two processing faces. The MC 42 runs at up to 350 strokes per minute, with a 90 kN press, 60 kN slide units and a capacity of 4 × 60 mm strip and Ø 4 mm wire. The MC 82 is specified with 250 1/min, a 300 kN press, 90 kN slide units, 6 × 80 mm strip and Ø 6 mm wire; the MC 120 with 150 1/min, a 700 kN press, 160 kN slide units, 10 × 160 mm strip and Ø 10 mm wire.
Which feed options does the MC 42 offer?
The mechanical feed feeds up to 120 mm or 240 mm (with feed-time reduction); with the servo feed the feed length is unlimited.
