MONARCH FBE-2600 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Monarch FBE-2600 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center designed for large-scale precision manufacturing operations. This three-axis CNC machine features an extended X-axis travel of 102.36 inches paired with a Y-axis travel of 39.3 inches, providing substantial working envelope for processing oversized workpieces. The machine is powered by a robust 33 horsepower motor coupled with a maximum spindle speed of 3,500 RPM, optimizing performance for deep-cutting operations and tough materials commonly encountered in aerospace, heavy equipment, and industrial component manufacturing. The CAT-50 tool taper accommodates standard tooling with a 24-tool automatic changer, enabling rapid tool exchanges and reducing non-productive machine time. The horizontal spindle orientation facilitates exceptional chip evacuation during contouring operations while maintaining superior surface finishes on complex geometries. This configuration allows the workpiece to remain stationary during cutting, enhancing operator safety and accuracy for applications requiring tight tolerances and high concentricity, such as valve bodies, engine blocks, and precision-bored components. The CNC control system enables sophisticated programming for complex geometric shapes and multi-function production capabilities on a single setup. With its substantial rigid construction and power delivery, the FBE-2600 is engineered for heavy milling performance across demanding production environments where consistent quality and precision are paramount.
