The concept of the OpenLine follows the ELB principle of absolute separation of the three machine axes. This principle has been proven thousands of time over and makes this machine perfectly suitable for prototype work and small volume production. Highest geometrical precision and an attractive price point add to this product's appeal. This machine line is completely manufactured in Germany and meets the highest quality standards. Quick and simple manual grinding (adjustments and settings) is as easy as finish grinding in automatic mode. The overall features of the basic machine as well as the proven ELB-Technology over the past 60+ years make the purchase of an OpenLine machine an economical investment.
