Boko WF 5/12-NC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large work table measuring 94.5" by 55", with an optional extended length of 131" while maintaining the same width. It supports an extraordinarily high maximum workpiece weight of 24,000 lbs, enabling machining of very large or heavy parts. The machine is equipped with a single vertical spindle using a #50 taper, capable of speeds up to 3,000 RPM powered by an 82 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, providing substantial cutting power for heavy-duty milling tasks. Tooling is manual with one tool carrier and instant tool change time (0 seconds), designed for simplicity and reliability. The machine controls four axes as standard—X, Y, Z, and B—with the option to add a fifth axis. Axis travels are extensive: 118" on the X-axis, 55" on Y, and 45.2" on Z, extendable to 75" optionally; the B-axis rotates fully 180 degrees. Axis feed rates reach 197 inches per minute, with rapid traverse speeds up to 295 inches per minute for efficient positioning. This machine is designed for heavy, precision milling with robust construction to handle large components, broad axis travels, and powerful spindle performance making it suitable for aerospace, automotive, or large-scale industrial machining applications. Its versatile axis configuration and extended table support complex and large workpiece machining with high rigidity and control precision.
