Boring, Milling Machine

The FBM series horizontal boring and milling machine is designed for high-performance, production batch machining of large workpieces with complex fixturing. Featuring a generous work envelope and a 50-taper cartridge type air purged spindle that reaches speeds up to 4,000rpm max, the machine can handle workpieces measuring 39" x 126" and weighing up to 7,116 lb. For long cycle production with minimum non-cutting time, the machine is equipped with a chain type 60 tool magazine (optional 30 or 40 tool changer) large volume coolant tank and a dual chip channel with auger type chip conveyor in each side for efficient chip removal. The tool changer accommodates tool up to 13.75" long, 7.87" in diameter and weighing up to 55 lb.

Also standard are ZF gearbox; rigid tapping capability; automatic air blast through spindle; heat exchanger; spindle cooling system; hydraulic tool changer; chips tray; automatic lubrication system; and RS232 interface. The three axes employ seven NSK P4 double hydraulic bearings and can be fitted with Heidenhain linear scales for accuracies up to 0.001mm. Large 80mm, hollow ballscrews with coolant circulation and temperature sensor eliminates thermal buildup during heavy duty, extended machining cycles.

Also on display will be gantry-type grinders, double column VMCs, and the FVGCII multi-tasking machine.
