Three: standard with 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of turning length, L with 2,100 mm (82.7 in) and XL with 3,200 mm (126.0 in). Z travel is 1,150 mm (45.3 in), 2,150 mm (84.6 in) and 3,250 mm (128.0 in), and the tailstock travels 980 mm (38.6 in), 1,980 mm (78.0 in) and 3,080 mm (121.3 in).
The chuck: 15 in on the 550A and 18 in on the 550B. The table lists the same A2-11 nose, Ø132 mm (Ø5.2 in) bore, Ø116 mm (Ø4.6 in) bar capacity and 30 / 22 kW (40.2 / 29.5 hp) motor for both, with 2,000 rpm on the turning version and 1,800 rpm on the MC.
The Hi-TECH 550BB is the big-bore version: an A2-15 nose, Ø195 mm (Ø7.7 in) bore, Ø190 mm (Ø7.5 in) bar, 1,000 rpm and a 37 / 30 kW (49.6 / 40.2 hp) spindle, with a 12-station turret. The Hi-TECH 550 has a Ø132 mm (Ø5.2 in) bore and runs to 2,000 rpm. Turning lengths are the same.
A 7.5 / 5.5 kW (10.1 / 7.4 hp) drive running to 4,000 rpm, taking end mills up to Ø32 mm in ER 40 collets, with C-axis indexing in 0.0001° steps and a 12-station turret. Main spindle speed on the MC is 1,800 rpm.
The Hi-TECH 650 turns up to Ø600 mm (Ø23.6 in) and offers a 21 in chuck and an A2-15 nose on its B version, with 37 / 30 kW (49.6 / 40.2 hp) on the 650A and 45 / 37 kW (60.3 / 49.6 hp) on the 650B. The Hi-TECH 550 stays with 15 in or 18 in chucks on an A2-11 nose and a 30 / 22 kW (40.2 / 29.5 hp) motor.
