The machine’s automatic quick-change system is designed for collet change and for ISO 50-taper toolholder change.

The grinder features NUM Flexium control and NumrotoPlus tool grinding software enabling 3D tool simulation, machine animation, and collision checking. Additional software is available for complex step/form tools, hobs, burrs, shape cutters, T-slot cutters, high-performance end mills and drills (including K-land grinding), routers, porting and other types of cutting tools. A touch probe is included for grinding wheel qualification. Digitization of existing cutting edges is included for grinding or regrinding pre-fluted tools.
