FELSOMAT FTC 180 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The FELSOMAT FTC 180 Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance, dual-spindle CNC machine designed for precision hard turning and flexible manufacturing. Each main spindle delivers up to 35.0 HP and reaches a maximum speed of 4,500 RPM, supporting efficient machining of hardened materials. The machine features a maximum turning diameter of 8.660" and a turning length of 5.500", with a chuck diameter of 12.400" and a maximum swing of 12.500", enabling the processing of a wide range of workpiece sizes. With two main spindles, the FTC 180 allows for simultaneous operations, significantly reducing cycle times and increasing productivity. The tooling system includes two tool carriers, each capable of holding up to 8 tools, with support for 2 simultaneous cutting tools, ensuring versatile and efficient tool management. The machine operates on a 4-axis configuration, with X-axis travel of 17.720", Y-axis travel of 1,769", and Z-axis travel of 11.810", providing precise and dynamic movement for complex machining tasks. The FTC 180 is built on a rigid mono-block mineral base concrete structure for superior damping and stability, making it ideal for high-accuracy applications. Its modular design and advanced control systems support integration into automated production lines, while features such as parallel loading/unloading and pendular machining further enhance throughput and efficiency. This machine is engineered for demanding environments, delivering consistent quality and reliability in serial production of precision components.
