FORCE ONE FCL-550TM HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The FORCE ONE FCL-550TM is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision turning applications. It features dual main spindles, each delivering 15 HP at up to 4,200 RPM (optimum 4,000 RPM), supporting a maximum turning diameter of 17.320 inches and length up to 11.410 inches. The main spindles incorporate 8-inch chucks with a maximum swing of 24.410 inches and can handle bar diameters up to 2 inches. Complementing this setup is a sub spindle rated at 10 HP with speeds up to 6,000 RPM. The machine is equipped with a primary turret tool carrier supporting up to 12 turning tools and 12 rotary tools, capable of simultaneous dual-tool cutting to boost productivity. The rotary tools operate at 5 HP and 4,000 RPM. It incorporates a robust 5-axis configuration, upgradeable to 7 axes for enhanced machining flexibility. Axis travels include 9.640 inches in the X-axis and 13.460 inches in the Z-axis, all with rapid traverse rates of 787 inches per minute in X, Y, and Z directions. Constructed with a 45-degree slant bed design and heavy-duty roller-type linear guideways on X, Y, and Z axes, the FCL-550TM provides exceptional rigidity and thermal stability, minimizing geometric deformation during operations. Its twin-spindle, twin-turret architecture enables efficient multitasking, ideal for automotive, aerospace, and industrial component production requiring high precision and complex geometries. This machining center delivers a blend of power, speed, and versatility optimized for demanding manufacturing environments.
