Note that exact specs can vary slightly by options ordered in 2006 (e.g., tool changer capacity, exact control software version, or additional features like coolant through spindle). Machine weight and table load figures in sales listings sometimes reflect equipped configurations or conservative ratings. For the most precise details on a specific serial number, consult the original Fadal documentation or a service manual for that machine.
