PARPAS BF 80-VO HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Parpas BF 80-VO is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center designed for large workpieces, featuring a robust table size of 74.8" x 32.28" and capable of supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 17,600 lbs. It operates with a #50 spindle taper running up to 3,000 RPM and delivers 32 HP (30-minute rating), suitable for powerful machining tasks. The machine incorporates a 3-axis configuration with travels of 62.99" in X, 31.5" in Y, and 37.41" in Z, each with rapid traverse rates of 394 inches per minute, enabling efficient material removal and positioning. Tooling is managed via an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) with zero tool change chip time, optimizing cycle times. The horizontal spindle orientation enhances chip evacuation and stability when machining heavy or large components. This machining center is tailored for high precision and productivity in industries requiring heavy workpiece processing and extended travel ranges. Its strong spindle horsepower, sizable work envelope, and rapid feed capabilities make it well-suited for demanding horizontal milling, drilling, and boring operations.
