TRAK LPM

A unique answer to the problems of small run production

  • Ideal for jobs that run in a few hours or a couple of days
  • Great for machinists who already know ProtoTRAK
  • Shop floor production system that one man can run
  • “Problem jobs” that don’t fit into the production system or the toolroom
