Sturdy high-speed machining.

through taking the traditional low-to-the-floor machine-bed design and extending the side walls up high above the machining area, Bertsche Engineering Corp., Buffalo wood Ill., has designed a machining center with an extremely stable bed arrangement for the 3-axis vertical-spindle carriage.
