S80 Series: automatic CNC surfacing machines
A modern head gasket demands flawless flatness and surface finish. The S80 Series delivers them, cycle after cycle: a traveling column proven for decades on Rottler machining centers, combined with latest-generation ClearPath servo motors driven by a touch-screen control.
Dry machining with PCD and CBN tooling: the chips fall into a drawer at the front. Programmable multi-pass down-feed allows heavy cuts in a single setup. And it is fast: a cylinder head is surfaced in minutes.
Rottler · Automatic CNC surfacing machinesS80 SeriesMachining-center precision
Traveling column on linear roller guideways, direct-drive ball screws on the vertical and horizontal movements: perfect motion control for a precision surface finish, compatible with MLS gaskets.
Smart automatic cycles
Program the length of the part: the machine travels exactly that distance and returns to position — no more stop adjustment. Programmable multi-pass down-feed for heavy stock removal.
Dry machining, clean shop
Spindle and cutter head designed for dry cutting with PCD (aluminum) and CBN (cast iron): zero fluid, chips collected in a front drawer, full steel enclosure with folding stainless steel doors.
Minimal footprint
The traveling-column design and one-piece cast iron base make these the most compact surfacers on the market. Large vertical travel of 483 mm: from the small single-cylinder head to the tall diesel block, without parallels.
The S80 Series models.
For the general shop and racing. Designed for surfacing automotive and small diesel heads and blocks.
Surfacing from the smallest to the largest: heavy-duty diesel heads and blocks. The machine for the shop that handles a wide variety of gasoline and diesel engines.

- Surfacing for MLS gaskets and modern engines
- Angle milling for racing
- Weld repair and cylinder head rework
- Heavy-duty diesel blocks and heads (S86A)
Before you choose.
Are the S80 surfacers suitable for MLS gaskets?
Yes. Traveling column on roller guideways, direct-drive ball screws, PCD and CBN tooling: the surface finish obtained is compatible with multi-layer steel gaskets.
S85A or S86A?
S85A for the general shop and racing: automotive heads and blocks, small diesels. S86A to go up to heavy-duty diesel heads and blocks.
Dry machining, really?
Yes: PCD for aluminum, CBN for cast iron, no fluid. The chips fall into a front drawer and the shop stays clean.
