Pillar CMJ-HSK: High-Speed HSK Coping Machine for Rail Ends

Pillar CMJ-HSK: High-Speed Coping Machine with HSK Spindles

The CMJ-HSK is a high-speed coping machine with two independent 11 HP HSK-63F spindles, designed for shops running 10 or more profiles daily. Push-button tooling changes take 30 seconds, cutting downtime significantly compared to standard spindle setups. Cycle time and throughput match the standard CMJ: 6-8 seconds per part, up to 4,000 rails per shift.
