In a complex manufacturing world, standard is no longer enough.
At MTE Germany, we have therefore consistently focused on developing highly complex large milling machines that are tailored to the specific needs of our customers.
No two machines are the same
In the past, it was not unusual for identical machines to be built more than once. Today, this is the exception rather than the rule. Almost every machine we deliver is unique – configured and designed on the basis of our customers’ individual production requirements. We use an extensive modular system that opens up a wide range of configuration options.
Maximum flexibility for installation situations
Creativity is often required, especially when it comes to the space available in our customers’ workshops. In many cases, there is only limited space available – or the new machine even has to be built on an existing foundation. This is precisely where our strength lies: thanks to our flexible design and our experience, we can adapt machines precisely to the space available.
Customizable cladding and cabins
We also offer maximum customization when it comes to cladding. Whether machines with a Full cabin, open at the top, with side doors or completely enclosed – we build the machine in a way that makes sense for your production. For us, it’s not just about milling, but about your efficiency, ergonomics and safety.

Ergonomic operation – flexible control
Our machines can be operated intuitively – exactly where you need them. Among other things, we offer
- Swivel control panels that can be moved from front to back
- Machines with two control units for more flexibility
- Separate control units on the tool magazine, especially for tool management
Whether Heidenhain or Siemens control – we adapt to your operating concept.
Variety of Milling heads / heads and tool magazines
Our machines can be configured with a wide range of Milling heads / heads:
- Automatically interchangeable angled milling heads
- Drill spindles
- Pick-up stations to switch between different heads
We supply machines as required:
- Drum Tool changers
- Chain type magazin
- Tool arenas for particularly extensive tool assemblies
This ensures that even complex machining tasks can be completed in an automated process without retooling.

Carousel turning tables for maximum flexibility
For complex turning operations and combined milling/turning processes, we offer a wide selection of NC-controlled rotary tables and Carousel turning tables:
- Use as 4th axis or fully-fledged revolving table
- Integration of zero-point clamping systems (e.g. Schunk, SMW Autoblok)
- Optionally with pallet changing system
- Options for simultaneous turning, turning steel holder,
This enables us to achieve maximum efficiency in the production of rotationally symmetrical components, heavy cast parts or complex housings with turning and milling in a single clamping operation.
Fit for the future: automation with pallet changers
Another field that is gaining in importance for many customers is automation. We offer you integrated pallet changing systems that reduce downtimes and raise the productivity of your machine to a new level. MTE machines are automation-capable and can be perfectly embedded in your production strategy – regardless of whether you are already automating today or planning to do so in the future.

Conclusion: We build your machine – not just any machine
With MTE milling machines, you don’t get an off-the-shelf machine. You receive a solution that is precisely tailored to your production reality, your spatial requirements and your technological requirements. With modular technology, a high level of innovation and a clear focus on customer proximity and flexibility.
If you are also faced with the challenge of integrating a large milling machine into an existing environment or need a customized solution – we are ready.
Your requirements. Our machine. Tailor-made.
