Anderson Technology Stratos/Pro FI HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2017 Anderson Technology Stratos/Pro FI Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machining solution designed for heavy-duty production with a large table and machining envelope of 5' x 12'. It features a powerful 24 HP router spindle equipped with an HSK63F tool interface, capable of speeds up to 24,000 RPM, ensuring efficient and precise cutting. The machine incorporates a 10-position automatic tool changer for streamlined tool swapping, supporting high machining efficiency and reduced downtime. For drilling operations, it includes a 2 HP line boring unit rotating at 4,500 RPM, equipped with 10 vertical and 4 horizontal drills with 10 mm shank size, enabling multifaceted hole-making capabilities. The structural build of the machine is robust with a main machine weight of 18,750 lbs, complemented by an infeed and labeling unit weighing 4,500 lbs and an outfeed conveyor weighing 2,200 lbs, supporting stable operation and material flow. Electrically, it requires 60 amps at 230 volts and 30 amps at 460 volts, providing flexible power compatibility for industrial environments. The machining center excels in precision and rigidity due to its heavy-duty welded steel construction and vibration-resistant Meehanite cast spindle carriage, supported by hardened linear guides and recirculating roller bearings for smooth, accurate axis movement. Its CNC control system (commonly FANUC Oi-MF) offers advanced automation features to optimize production cycle times. This machine is well-suited for applications involving solid wood, panels, plastics, composites, and non-ferrous metals, delivering high-speed cuttings and complex multi-axis machining capabilities.
