STARRAG F 2560 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Starrag F 2560 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance 5-axis CNC machine designed primarily for high-speed, precision machining of medium-sized aluminum structural components, making it ideal for aerospace manufacturing. It features a substantial X-axis travel of 248.03 inches, Y-axis travel of 118.11 inches, and Z-axis travel of 26.378 inches, accommodating large workpieces up to 5,000 kg. The machine is powered by a 160.9 hp (120 kW) spindle motor capable of reaching speeds up to 30,000 RPM, enabling highly efficient material removal rates. The spindle utilizes an HSK A63/80 taper and incorporates the advanced Sprint Z3 parallel kinematic machining head, delivering dynamic 3D motion with high travel speeds (50 m/min) and accelerations (up to 9.81 m/s²). This technology allows simultaneous 5-axis machining with precise tool control and complex movements within a ±45° spherical cone, enhancing flexibility and surface finish quality. Equipped with a large tool magazine holding 129 tools and featuring a rotating double pallet station sized 98.425 inches wide by 236.22 inches long, the F 2560 supports continuous, automated operations with minimal downtime during pallet changeovers. The fixed machine column combined with a vertically arranged pallet system ensures structural rigidity and precise positioning. Overall, the Starrag ECOSPEED F 2560 combines exceptional machine dynamics, high rigidity, advanced CNC control, and comprehensive automation to deliver optimal productivity and precision for complex aerospace and industrial components.
