FPT SPIRIT HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The FPT SPIRIT Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance, floor-type boring and milling machine engineered for the precise and efficient machining of large workpieces. Designed with a horizontal spindle orientation, it features a robust #50 taper (optionally #50-60) and delivers a maximum spindle speed of 4,000 RPM (3,500 RPM optional), supporting demanding applications with a 30-minute power rating of 97 HP (130 HP optional). The machine is equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC) capable of holding up to 100 tools, ensuring rapid and flexible tooling transitions with a chip-to-chip tool change time of 0.00 seconds. It operates on four axes, providing extensive travel ranges: X-axis up to 787.4 inches (standard 236 inches), Y-axis up to 315 inches (standard 157.5 inches), and Z-axis up to 69 inches (standard 59 inches), all with a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse of 985 inches per minute. The SPIRIT’s moving column design and large work support table accommodate heavy and oversized components, making it ideal for industries such as power generation, heavy machinery, and shipbuilding. Its integration with Heidenhain CNC controls ensures high accuracy and reliability, while the absence of a U-axis maintains simplicity and rigidity for standard multi-axis operations. This machining center combines advanced automation, high torque, and expansive travel to deliver exceptional versatility and productivity in large-scale manufacturing environments.
