FAGOR ARRASATE improves its heads machining process thanks to the acquisition of a SORALUCE machine

FAGOR ARRASATE has improved its large press heads machining process with the acquisition of the floor type milling-boring machine FX-20000. The machine has allowed the optimisation of the machining process and has reduced cycle times, thanks to a significant reduction in the number of workpiece set-ups (from 6 to 3), and also to the machine flexibility and the high stock removal capacity of the SORALUCE head .

CHALLENGE:

Press head machining process with minimum number of set-ups (3 set-ups).

Press heads machining process weighting 20 ÷ 150 Tn.

Pendulum machining: machine downtime = 0.

Set-up 1+2: Base and upper side machining on floor plate: 4 guideways milling + drilling operations.

Set-up 3: 4 sides machining on rotary-travelling table: axle bore boring (accuracy H7), diameters, various planes milling and drilling operations.
