Servomill® FPK 500

Integrated electronics allow for easier, more precise and more efficient conventional milling

• The Servomill machines represent a new generation of conventional milling machines
• All Servomill series are characterised by ease of operation, significantly increased precision and enhanced cutting performance
• The high reliability of all components used and their long service life significantly reduce maintenance costs and thus ensure increased availability

Design and Construction

• The design of the FPK series is the modern interpretation of the classic universal tool milling machine, which is used in many workshops and production environments
• The machine stand in console design is a modern construction made of high-quality grey cast iron, designed for precision and durability
• As a proven design feature, all operating elements are concentrated on the right-hand side of the machine, giving the operator perfect control over the entire machining process
• The box guides are highly resilient thanks to their large contact surface and guide the console and upper beam with maximum dimensional stability and load-bearing capacity

Main spindle and drives

• The main spindle gearbox is integrated in the upper beam for efficient power transmission and quiet, low-vibration operation
• The robust 2-stage gearbox with hardened and ground gears offers a wide, infinitely variable speed range, high load capacity and smooth running
• The vertical milling head can be swivelled on both sides and the quill can be moved manually
• The vertical milling head can be dismantled in a few simple steps to reveal the horizontal spindle holder
• A counter-holder can be fitted as standard for machining with long milling arbours

Feed

• Powerful servomotors enable infinitely variable feed speeds and rapid traverse in all axes
• Preloaded ball screws in all axes guarantee precise, smooth and low-wear positioning without backlash and a long service life

Equipment

• The machines come with an extensive range of accessories as standard, such as a powerful coolant system, LED work lighting and a comprehensive tool package with long arbours and collets

Your Advantages

• Easy to use: intuitive operation - practical layout of control elements and streamlined function
• Automatischer Vorschub in allen Achsen stufenlos regelbar
• Set limit stops on any axis with the push of a button - 3 stop positions per axis can be stored
• More precise: operated via electronic hand-wheels - axes are powered by high-quality servo drives that translate your hand movements with the precision and dynamics of modern CNC machines
• More reliable: drives, spindles, and measuring systems are totally enclosed or mounted in protective enclosures and virtually maintenance-free
• More capacity: this machine only uses premium drive components that are designed for continuous operation
• Maintenance-free: no regular maintenance needed for the entire feed drive

Advanced feed drive technologie

• The axes are moved by high-quality servo drives that implement your handwheel movements with the precision and dynamics of modern CNC machines
• Reliable, maintenance-free high-volume technology
• High rapid traverse speed reduces non-productive times

Ballscrews in all Axis

• Considerably less errors due to loseness (backlash), resulting in significantly higher precision
• Significantly reduced friction, no stick-slip effect, reduced heat buildup, minimal wear

Electronic hand-wheels

• Micro-control via electronic hand-wheels offering the same handling and postioning as with a conventional machine, just smoother and more precise

Joystick Operation

• Maximum operator comfort for axis movements
• Easy handling during sequential processing

Electronic Bedstops

• Set 2 limit stops at 3 positions on each axis by the push of a button - these buttons are grouped around the feed switch for intuitive control
• This ensures high repeatability during coordinate drilling or pocket cutting, and siginificantly more positions can be set up than on conventional machines

Electronic Spindle Load Display

• Assists the operator in the most efficient utilization of machine and tool capacities
• Reliable indicator helps avoid damages caused by overloads
