FPT CASTEL 253 HORIZONTAL BORING MILL

Technical Description

The FPT CASTEL 253 is a high-performance CNC horizontal boring and milling machine engineered for precision and stiffness, featuring a transverse travelling column structure. It is equipped with a 5.12-inch (150 mm) spindle that achieves speeds of up to 4,000 RPM (Technical Specs) or continuously variable from 5 to 3,000 min^-1 (AI Data), driven by a 61.9 HP (55 kW) AC brushless SIEMENS motor, generating a maximum spindle torque of 2,917 Nm. The machine's travels include X-axis (longitudinal) up to 118.0 inches (2,500 - 5,000 mm range), Y-axis (vertical) up to 98.3 inches (2,000 - 3,000 mm range), and Z-axis (transverse) with a range of 1,500 - 2,500 mm. It handles table loads up to 25,000 kg on its rotary B-axis table, which offers 360-degree rotation with high positioning accuracy. Key features include a two-stage ZF gearbox, a 60-fold SK50 tool changer, and a comprehensive cooling system with coolant trough spindle and chip conveyor.
