High-speed version of a travelling column CNC milling machine, with a head changing unit is the first in a range that features linear ways.
TOS Kurim, the well known Czech manufacturer of CNC milling machines, introduced an additional range of CNC milling machines at the recent Brno Trade Fair. The model shown was the FF100/125A, a high-speed version of its travelling column CNC milling machine with a head changing unit. This machine, which is the first in a range that featuring linear ways, will be closely followed by the models FS80/100 and 125, which are bed type CNC milling machines.

The FF series of travelling column machines is available with 2 table widths of 1000 and 1250mm.

Table lengths and 'X' axis travels ( both are the same ) range from 3000 to 12000mm.

For the 'Y' axis, strokes of 1250 and 1500mm are available; for the 'Z' axis, strokes up to 2200mm can be provided.

Rapid traverse rates and programmed feed rates of up to 20 metres/min.

are now standard.

The FS series of Bed Type Machines is available in three table widths of 800;,000 and 1250mm.

Table lengths and 'X' axis travels range from 2000 to 5000mm.

Rapid traverse rates and programmed feed rates up to 20 metres/min.

are standard.

All models are supplied with the 'O' type Automatic Indexing Head, which has indexing increments of 2.5 degrees.

A further range of heads, fully controllable in the A and B axes, allows five-axes machining.

Spindle speed up to 18,000 rpm are available on this range.

Spindle power is 30kW.

As a further option a Quill can be provided in place of the milling head.

For the travelling column machines, there is also the option of a head changer, for which there is a wide range of heads to suit different applications.

Easo of loading is ensured by positioning the table 500mm above floor level, which we understand will be the future C.E.

regulation for these types of machine.

Tos Kurim claim to be the first company in Europe to comply with this.

Many features such as twin ballscrew drive and hydraulic counterbalance to the ram ensure maximum accuracy.

Linear scales are standard on all linear axes again ensuring maximum accuracy.

A full range of rotary tables which are manufactured by Tos Kurim is available for these machines.
