FADAL FL-8L HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The FADAL FL-8L is a horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty turning and milling operations. It features a single main spindle with 4,200 RPM capability and 15 HP output, accommodating workpieces up to 11.800" in diameter with a maximum turning length of 23.600". The machine incorporates an 8.000" chuck and supports bar stock up to 2.590" in diameter, with a maximum swing clearance of 19.600". The turret-style tool carrier holds up to 12 tools, enabling one simultaneous cutting operation. The machine offers robust 2-axis control with X, Y, and Z axes, each providing 394" of travel. All three axes deliver impressive performance with maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds of 1,181 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. This configuration makes the FL-8L suitable for automated production runs involving complex turning and facing operations on medium to large workpieces, particularly in manufacturing environments requiring consistent precision and high throughput.
