WMW FK 1000 T HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The WMW FK 1000 T is a robust horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty CNC operations with a 4-axis configuration. It features a planer-type table measuring 87" x 49" (optional 126" x 49") capable of supporting workpieces up to 24,000 lbs, enabling machining of large, heavy components. The machine’s horizontal spindle utilizes a #50 taper, delivering up to 2,000 RPM and powered by a 30 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, ensuring substantial torque and stability during milling processes. Tool handling is managed via an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a 40-tool capacity, optimizing operational efficiency and minimizing downtime. Axis travels include 79" in X (optional 118"), 47" in Y (optional 71"), and 47" in Z, allowing extensive machining envelopes for versatile part sizes. Rapid traverse and maximum feed rates are optimized for high productivity, though exact speeds are unspecified. The machine excludes a U-axis, focusing on 4-axis precision. Typical CNC control options include Siemens with an alternative of Heidenhain, providing precise control and programming flexibility for complex machining tasks. This horizontal machining center, built for rugged industrial use, excels in high-capacity heavy milling, boring, and complex multi-axis component production. Its construction supports efficient machining in aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment manufacturing sectors where large workpieces and precise horizontal spindle orientation are critical.
