Rau was partner in the development of the FZ 16 S and is using the machine for a new project for precision parts in optimal color measuring systems. To find out how the machining center proves itself in the flexible, fully-automatic production of large quantities of between 100 and 100,000, see the March edition of the Swiss industry magazine (german).
