FORCE ONE FCL-550TMS HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The FORCE ONE FCL-550TMS is a high-precision horizontal machining center designed for versatile CNC turning and milling operations. It features a single main spindle capable of a maximum turning diameter of 19.290 inches and a turning length of up to 19.680 inches, with an 8-inch diameter chuck and a max swing of 25.590 inches. The main spindle operates at a maximum speed of 4,200 RPM delivering 15 HP, complemented by a sub spindle running at up to 6,000 RPM with 10 HP power, facilitating efficient back and front machining. Its primary tool carrier is a turret supporting up to 12 turning and 12 rotary tools, with rotary tools powered by 5 HP and capable of 4,000 RPM. The machine's axes include three standard axes (X, Y, Z) with optional five-axis capabilities, featuring X-axis travel of 11.020 inches, Y-axis rapid traverse of 1,181 ipm, and Z-axis travel of 22.050 inches with matching rapid traverse speeds. The design incorporates a 45-degree slant bed for optimal chip clearance and rigidity, supported by heavy-duty roller-type linear guideways on the X, Y, and Z axes to ensure precision and durability. This setup supports single simultaneous cutting tool operation and offers high-speed, reliable machining suitable for complex, multi-axis manufacturing tasks requiring precision and efficiency in turning and milling applications.
