SMTCL FBC130R HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMTCL FBC130R is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty milling and boring operations. Featuring a robust single-column, side-mounted headstock, the machine delivers exceptional rigidity and precision for demanding industrial applications. The worktable measures 70.8 x 63 inches, with an optional size of 78 x 63 inches, supporting workpieces up to 22,000 lbs. The horizontal spindle utilizes a #50 taper and achieves a maximum speed of 1,500 RPM, powered by a 68 HP (30-minute rating) motor for reliable performance during intensive machining cycles. The machine is equipped with a 40-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable to 60 tools, ensuring efficient tool management and reduced downtime. The FBC130R offers 4-axis control as standard, with an optional 5th axis (U-axis) for enhanced versatility. Axis travels include 157.4 inches on X, 78.7 inches on Y (extendable to 118.1 inches), 27.56 inches on Z, and a full 360° on B, enabling complex multi-face machining. All linear axes utilize closed-loop constant-flow hydrostatic guideways for high accuracy, minimal vibration, and long-term durability. The spindle and ball screw supports incorporate premium Western-made bearings for superior reliability. The machine supports optional rotary table integration, expanding its capability for intricate workpieces. CNC control is provided by Siemens 840D, with Fanuc 18i as an alternative. The FBC130R is engineered for high-precision, heavy-load applications in sectors such as aerospace, energy, and heavy manufacturing.
