Boko WF 3/12-NC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a manual tool carrier with a single tool capacity and no automatic tool change time, designed to handle very large workpieces up to 8,000 lbs on its substantial 71" x 47.2" table. The spindle is vertically oriented with a #50 taper, delivering up to 3,150 RPM powered by a 44 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty cycles, balancing torque and speed for heavy milling applications. The machine supports four axes—X, Y, Z, and B—with travels of 71" on X, 47.2" on Y, and 34" on Z (optionally extended to 53.5"), with the B axis offering 180° rotation, allowing complex multi-axis machining tasks. Feed rates reach up to 197 inches per minute, and rapid traverse speeds up to 394 inches per minute on linear axes, providing productivity without sacrificing precision. The spindle taper and power specifications suggest compatibility with heavy-duty cutting tools typical of ISO #50 tooling standards. With a robust Rigid structure capable of supporting large and heavy parts, the combination of sizable work envelope, powerful spindle, and 4-axis capability makes this machine suitable for large mold, aerospace components, or heavy industrial part machining where weight and size are critical factors. The manual single-tool setup hints at use in specific custom or low-volume applications where tool changes are infrequent or manually managed, emphasizing heavy part capacity and machining reach over high-speed tool interchange.
