Rottler S85A CNC Surfacing Machine
The Rottler S85A Surfacing Machine is the perfect combination of cutting-edge control technology and proven traveling column machine tool dry surfacing technology. These machines are the most advanced surfacing machines available today, providing unparalleled accuracy and performance.
The traveling column design has been proven for decades in Rottler engine block machining centers, reducing floor space requirements and improving the accuracy of surface finish. This design is ideal for surfacing both small and large heavy-duty diesel heads and blocks.
The S85A model is perfect for job shops that work with a wide variety of engines, including diesel. It is designed for surfacing from the smallest to automotive and small diesel heads and blocks. The S85A is also ideal for the requirements of performance racing engine builders and production engine remanufacturers.
The programmable downfeed with multiple passes is ideal when large amounts of material need to be removed in one set up. Angle milling and weld removal are also easily done in one cycle.
Direct Drive Ball Screws and Linear Roller Bearing Slideways on vertical and horizontal movements combine to give precise motion control resulting in precision surface finish. This precision is essential for achieving the highest level of performance from any engine.
The full steel enclosure surrounds the machine, keeping the work area clean and free of chips while protecting operators from moving machine parts. The electrical enclosure mounted on the side of the machine allows the back of the machine to be installed against a wall, reducing floor space requirements.
The Most Advanced Surfacing Machine Available Today
In summary, the Rottler S85A machines are the most advanced surfacing machines available today, providing unparalleled accuracy, performance, and safety. They are ideal for job shops, performance racing engine builders, and production engine remanufacturers who demand the best in precision surface finish.

Features
- Latest ClearPath Integrated Servo Control Technology – State of the art electronic controls make the S80 machines the most advanced dry cutting surfacing machines available today.
- Increased Vertical Travel – the workhead is mounted on linear roller bearing slideways and has extended travel 19” (483mm) eliminating the need for parallels while being able to surface a wide variety of jobs from small single cylinder heads to tall diesel blocks.
- Linear Roller Bearing Slideways – the vertical and horizontal movements are by precision ball screens and on linear roller bearing slideways.
- Super Fine Surface Finish – Direct Drive precision ball screws and linear slideways combined with infinitely variable speeds and feeds allows surface finish as low as 2Ra to 6Ra. Today’s MLS (Multi Layer Steel) head gaskets require super fine finish to seal combustion pressure and oil and water.
- Dry Cutting – the spindle and cutterhead system is specially designed and developed for dry cutting with CBN and PCD cutting tools eliminating the need for coolant.
- Chip Collection System – the base casting and machine enclosure is designed to catch chips and direct them down into a roll out chip bin making clean up fast and easy.
- Reduced Floor Space – Traveling Column Design and compact, one piece base castings give the most compact surfacing machines available today reducing floor space requirements.
- Folding Doors – the stainless steel doors fold down for access to the work area and fold up to protect the operator and keep the work area clean of any chips.
- Universal T Slot Base – Large One Piece Mehanite Cast Iron Base with T-Slots allows mounting of any fixture and any job – jacks and clamps can be placed anywhere!
- Program Length of Part – Input length of surface to be machined and the machine travels the exact distance then returns to home – not necessary for time consuming setting of end stops.
- Fast Floor to Floor Time – Heads can be surfaced in a few minutes and a pair of angled V8 heads in less than eight minutes.
