FPT Industries – Castel-Red- Horizontal Boring Machines

In the field of horizontal boring machines, FPT CASTEL-Red undoubtedly represented the reference point on an International scale for the innovation in the last few years both under the design concept and under the structural profile. 

Once again these elements made of this machine another extraordinary object of FPT company, having no equals in the market of its category.

CASTEL-Red has been conceived from the beginning according to revolutionary criteria and design. It is characterised by a unique column structure integrating the longitudinal sliding saddle.

Furthermore the headstock slides in the middle of the column and is guided on both parts. This expensive choice, from the manufacturing point of view, conveys first rate outcome.

The result is an extreme stiffness not achievable with other boring machines of traditional concept. This quality practically turns into high roughing capacity and above all accuracy and finishing .

CASTEL Red is completely manufactured in the up-to-date FPT premises near Venice (Italy) by high specialised engineers provided with tooling and checking methods representing the state of the art.

To all this it must be added that the machine is equipped with powerful checking and management softwares developed by FPT in collaboration with the most important CNC manufacturers, one for all Autocal whose description is on the following pages.

FPT experience and the worldwide pre and after sale assistance that it’s organization can grant are the key factors to guarantee success to its customers.

Even CASTEL-Red, as all FPT production range, is equipped with many of our original accessories, among them the automatic universal heads, included the extraordinary version of the continuous positioning head 0.001°and the big automatic boring heads; all equipped with automatic accessory change device and, on request, programmed for unloading on side storage.

It must be reminded that FPT employs on its machines the high-tech concept which provides that the heads are intended as autonomous; therefore each of them is equipped with all necessary devices both for movement and control.

Even in these choices FPT is the only one in the worldwide scene of manufacturers.

Double table solutions for pendulum machining or with automatic pallet change are available together with different types of tool changers.

Verus

FPT’s innovation continues with the new high performance milling machine VERUS,
coming from a development of the first-born Ronin and from which inherits the philosophy and the ergonomic solutions unique in the market.

Verus is a new and effective weapon for FPT’s customers to successfully face the
future challenges.

Many features differentiate Verus from the other competitors’ machines of this segment:
first of all the monolithic structure of the column, which integrates the sliding
longitudinal saddle.

This characteristic gives Verus a lowered trimmed morphology (8th patent registered
by FPT in the last 9years). This morphology reduces the distance between longitudinal
travel (X-axis of the column) and cross travel (Y-axis of the ram), thus decreasing
the bending and overturning moment of the column due to the forces released during
the machining and a drastic reduction of inertia.

Besides that, this patented solution requires no embedding of the machine in the
foundation pit, just a concrete bed at floor level.

This means about 50% saving on foundation costs at the beginning, furthermore in
case of a subsequent moving of the machine, there is no need to re-establish the
floor, thus avoiding further costs and troubles.

This is a particularly fast machine with high stiffness and extraordinary accessibility. It is equipped with the already famous universal
heads made in FPT, both mechanical continuous and 5- axes machining patented heads,
that assure torque, power and rotation speed unique so far.

Tessen

TESSEN is the travelling column type milling machine entrusted with the important
task of reviving the success obtained throughout the world by the moving table milling
machine mod. LEM.

In line with the last production of innovative travelling column type milling machines
such as Ronin and Verus, also TESSEN develops the concept of fixed table and moving
column machine with some very important special characters.

TESSEN is equipped with a big bed integrating the longitudinal sliding guideways
of the column with the floorplate; the whole generously dimensioned.

Furthermore, the guideways of the longitudinal movement of the bed are placed on
an inclined plane at a minimum distance from the floorplate allowing the exploitation
of all the daylight both vertically and horizontally. In this way the maximum reaction
to the machining thrust and the utmost stiffness are granted.

These important performances have been obtained by REM engineers always keeping
in mind the fundamental exigencies of the operators both in terms of working, loading,
tooling comfort, and checking of TESSEN during single, multiple and pendulum machining.

Ronin

RONIN, mother of the new technology in the worldwide scene of milling «made in FPT».

RONIN concept will represent the milestone of the new generations of travelling
column type milling-boring machines for the most advanced mechanical machining,
present and future.

Designed according to revolutionary criteria and philosophy, the concept of RONIN
is covered by International patent.

One of the most important characteristics of RONIN is that of integrating the column
in a unique monolithic structure with the longitudinal sliding saddle (X axis).

The result is exciting under all points of view. RONIN differs itself from all competing
machines for its qualities of utmost stiffness, of dynamic feedback, for its capabilities
to perform extremely heavy machining with high powers, high accuracy machining,
as well as for its finishing quality.

RONIN can be installed at floor level. Thanks to its lowered trim morphology, there
is no need of expensive, bulky and uncomfortable foundation pits normally necessary
for its competitors to have an acceptable distance between table and spindle nose.

The consequence is a cheaper foundation, about 50% less, and a machine definitely
easier for the operator access also in terms of preparation and set up.

The maintenance and cleaning of RONIN is very simple, bringing to further savings.

The following pages will explain in detail these particular performances.

“It must be reminded that FPT employs on its machines the high-tech concept which

DinoMax

DINOMAX, result of choices aimed at the maximum rationality and efficiency, continues the product and dimensional philosophy where the other FPT’s portal machines (STINGER and DINO) must stop because of the workpiece dimensions or weight. These restrictions do not any longer justify the moving of the workpieces but the machine will move around them.

DINOMAX is a moving bridge Gantry machine of last generation having among its main characteristics a considerable dimensional structure, studied by FPT’s engineers to grant the exploitation of its dynamic and stiffness potentialities for heavy and high accuracy machining.

In the base configuration DINOMAX is supplied with the famous universal Direct Drive head; its undercutting machining features, millesimal positioning and continuous movement of the 2 axes in the space (International FPT’s patent) are one-of-a-kind.

Thus, with the same dimensions and strokes, it allows bigger working areas.

DINOMAX can also be equipped with an auto-calibration electronic device named AUTOCAL, designed and patented by FPT.

This device permits to the user of DINOMAX to perform a periodical control with the relevant automatic calibration of the machine, always obtaining the utmost performance and efficiency.
