Uncompromising user-friendliness are hallmarks of the U86 with its 3-sided rise & fall work tank and Hyper i control. The rise & fall work tank offers the operator unimpeded access to the work zone from 3 sides. This dramatically improves the safety and ergonomics for loading and unloading of large parts, and also simplifies machine access for maintenance procedures. The U86 is standard with a 520mm (20.47”) Z-Stroke, but an extended 620mm (24.41”) version is also available. Both Z-Stroke configurations position from Z-Zero to the maximum height, so there are no unusable dead zones, and the maximum work tank fill height is 50mm (1.96”) above the highest Z-Stroke position.
