PARPAS BF 100-VO HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Parpas BF 100-VO is a horizontal machining center engineered for heavy-duty production work with substantial workpiece capacity. Featuring a large rectangular worktable measuring 98.43 inches in length by 39.37 inches in width, the machine accommodates workpieces weighing up to 30,800 pounds, making it suitable for large-scale industrial components. The horizontally-oriented #50 spindle operates at a maximum speed of 3,000 rpm with a continuous 60 horsepower rating, providing significant torque for demanding machining operations on ferrous materials. The machine employs a 3-axis configuration with X, Y, and Z travel distances of 78.74 inches, 39.37 inches, and 45.28 inches respectively, delivering rapid traverse rates of 394 ipm across all axes for efficient non-cutting movements. An automatic tool changer manages tool storage and exchange, enhancing operational efficiency in production environments. This configuration prioritizes rigidity and power over high-speed capability, making the BF 100-VO particularly well-suited for heavy-stock removal, casting machining, and applications requiring sustained cutting forces rather than spindle velocity.
