Parpas BF 132 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large work table measuring 183.07 inches in length by 51.97 inches in width, designed to support extremely heavy workpieces up to 66,000 pounds. The machine employs a vertical spindle with an ISO 50 taper, capable of reaching up to 3,000 RPM and powered by a 60 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, enabling robust and precise machining operations. Tooling is managed through an automatic tool changer (ATC), ensuring efficient tool swaps with a chip-to-chip tool change time effectively at zero seconds, optimizing production flow. The machining center operates across three axes—X, Y, and Z—with travels of 102.36", 51.18", and 35.43" respectively, all capable of rapid traverse rates of 295 inches per minute, delivering quick positioning and high operational speed. This combination of large table size, high workpiece capacity, powerful spindle, and fast axis movement makes the machine ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring large-scale, precise vertical milling, drilling, and boring. The absence of a U-axis indicates a standard three-axis configuration suited for versatile machining tasks in aerospace, automotive, heavy machinery, or energy sectors where large and heavy components are processed.
