Parpas BF 160 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Parpas BF 160 is a high-capacity vertical machining center designed for heavy-duty and precision machining applications. Featuring a robust 5-axis configuration, it offers extensive travel ranges of 137.8" (X), 62.99" (Y), and 59.05" (Z), with an A-axis rotation of up to 60°, enabling complex multi-sided machining. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle featuring an ISO 50 taper, capable of reaching a maximum speed of 2,000 RPM and delivering 87 HP (30-minute rating), ensuring high torque and efficient material removal for demanding tasks. The large worktable measures 150.59" in length and 59.06" in width, supporting workpieces up to 77,000 lbs, making it suitable for large-scale industrial components. The spindle is paired with an automatic tool changer (ATC) for rapid tool exchange, enhancing productivity. All axes achieve a rapid traverse rate of 197 ipm, optimizing cycle times. The machine's structure and control system are engineered for stability, accuracy, and reliability in continuous operation, ideal for industries requiring high-precision machining of hard materials such as steel, Inconel, and titanium.
