FPT STINGER 280 APC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The FPT STINGER 280 APC is a 5-axis vertical machining center designed for high-precision machining of complex parts, particularly suited for mold, die, and aerospace component manufacturing. It features a large working envelope with X, Y, and Z travels of 78.7", 55.1", and 31.5" respectively, allowing machining of sizable workpieces. The machine is equipped with a powerful 33 kW spindle capable of reaching speeds up to 35,000 RPM, facilitating high-speed cutting and fine finishes. Its CNC control provides precise, automated multi-axis positioning and interpolation for intricate 5-sided or multi-angle machining. The STINGER's innovative design includes a rotating milling head and rotary table, both driven by maintenance-free direct drive motors enabling continuous and precise rotation with high positioning accuracy. This assembly supports undercut and inclined plane machining with exceptional versatility. The machine's robust construction supports heavy workpieces and features a large 1,000 mm x 1,000 mm table surface. It offers rapid feed rates up to 35,000 mm/min, improving productivity. Additional features include an automatic tool changer with multiple pockets, internal and external coolant systems, chip conveyors, and a fully enclosed work area for safety and cleanliness. Ergonomics are optimized with a swivel control panel and easy access loading/unloading via crane-compatible doors. The FPT STINGER 280 APC combines high dynamic performance, versatility, and precision for demanding industrial applications.
