Latest boring mill from 2D CNC is Fermat WRF 170 Heavy

Topping out 2D CNC Machinery’s Fermat WRF range of modular, floor-type horizontal boring mills is the WRF 170 Heavy, which is aimed at the production of large cast steel and cast iron components weighing up to 80 tonnes.

Axis travels in X are up to 28.1 m, with Y at 7.3 m and a moving slide ram Z-axis of 1.5 m. In addition, the spindle ram extension travel (W) is 1 m, while a rotary B-axis table can also be specified, with this carried on a separate 3.3 m stroke V-axis.

Powered by a 60 kW motor with some 40,000 Nm of torque, the CAT 50 taper, 170 mm diameter spindle provides a speed range between 10 and 2,500 rpm. Furthermore, the headstock offers a programmable, adjustable mounting platform for attachments that enable integrated individual processes within the cycle.
