FPS 500M-hydro
Universal Milling and Drilling Machine

with hydraulic tool clamp
Item No.: 104023

For training and industrial machining

The machine is ready to train a new generation of machining experts. In the modern manufacturing world, it is known for its user-friendliness and good ergonomics.

Uncompromising precision

The precision of this machine guarantees excellent machining results in modern training. A modern machine tool fulfils its purpose when dimensionally accurate machining is achieved effortlessly.

Accuracy down to the last detail:

  • Stable, low-vibration cast construction
  • Heavy-duty spindle bearings
  • As standard: orientated spindle support for precise thread cutting without a compensating chuck
  • The vertical spindle and the horizontal spindle are each equipped with a hydromechanical tool clamp. Tightening system SK 40 / DIN 69872 or optional DIN 2080

Built for precision

All components are manufactured in Germany - guaranteeing consistently high quality. Ground guides ensure good sliding properties and hand-scraped surfaces of the counter guides keep the oil film stable. This means a very long service life for the machine. It goes without saying that the machine offers the user the best possible handling. The working area is freely accessible and the handwheels are particularly ergonomically arranged. The simple and clear design ensures that components and functions are immediately recognisable. All working areas of the machine are easily accessible.

Easy maintenance

The machine's main units are arranged for easy maintenance with direct access at the rear. You also benefit from automatic centralised lubrication for all axes and the vertical milling head.

Heidenhain Touch Active digital display as standard

Easy-to-operate Heidenhain Positip 8016 active digital display with 12" touchscreen for position value display, dialogues, inputs and graphic functions. - Recurring work sequences can be summarised in programmes. - Programming of rectangular pockets with one cycle - Distance-to-go mode with input of the nominal position in absolute or incremental dimensions - Probing functions for reference point measurement (edge, centre line and circle centre) also optionally possible with touch probe. - Definition of programme parameters (speed, feed rate, etc.) The 3-axis digital display guarantees absolute ease of use. It enables the user to precisely position the chain dimension (incremental) and the distance dimension (absolute). The best requirements for quick success in training and simple solutions in production - even for more complex tasks.
