FU
Horizontal machining center FU – universal solution for heavy and complex machining
The horizontal machining center FU is designed primarily for milling geometrically complex workpieces in the production of moulds, press tools, dies and other large-sized components requiring high precision and rigidity. The machine is suitable for single-piece, small-batch as well as technologically demanding industrial applications, especially in the toolmaking and heavy engineering sectors.
Thanks to its robust design and stable configuration, the FU machining center enables efficient machining of a wide range of materials, including alloy steels, structural materials and light metal alloys. High rigidity of the machine structure ensures stable cutting conditions even during heavy machining operations.
The FU machining center features a modular design concept, offering high flexibility in machine configuration according to specific customer requirements. The machine is built on a fixed bed, on which the longitudinal slide together with the column moves in the longitudinal direction. Along the vertical guideways of the column, a knee equipped with cross guideways allows precise travel of the headstock.
The machine can be equipped with a headstock featuring automatic clamping of interchangeable spindle heads, or alternatively with a headstock fitted with a fixed, non‑exchangeable spindle head. This variability allows the FU machining center to be adapted to different machining technologies and workpiece types.
The working area is configured according to customer needs using fixed clamping plates, rotary tables or combinations with movable slides, enabling a wide variety of machining applications. This flexible arrangement allows multi‑side machining of workpieces in a single setup.
The FU machining center is manufactured in standard or reinforced execution. The reinforced version is intended for machines with extended travels in the vertical Y axis (≥ 3500 mm) and cross Z axis (up to 2000 mm), ensuring maintained rigidity and machining accuracy even with enlarged working ranges.
The machine bed is made of grey cast iron and anchored securely to the foundation using anchoring bolts. The upper part of the bed is equipped with linear rolling guideways on which the longitudinal slide and column travel. Guideway spacing is 930 mm in the standard version and 1200 mm in the reinforced version, significantly contributing to machine stability and precision.
The horizontal machining center FU is delivered as a new machine, including transportation, installation, operator training and complete warranty and post‑warranty technical support.
