Machine Comparison
Nicolas Correa FOX vs Nicolas Correa NORMA
Nicolas Correa vs Nicolas Correa · CNC Boring Machines
Summary
The Nicolas Correa FOX and the Nicolas Correa NORMA are both large boring and milling machines with ISO-50 Big Plus / HSK-100 spindles. The published figures separate them on Y travel and spindle size: the Nicolas Correa FOX offers 3,000 / 3,750 / 4,250 mm of Y against 1,250 / 1,500 mm, and its spindle options run to 52 kW where the Nicolas Correa NORMA list stops at 37 kW.
Z travel overlaps: 1,000 / 1,500 / 1,750 mm on the FOX and 1,500 / 2,000 mm on the NORMA, so only the NORMA reaches 2,000 mm. Both offer a 10,000 rpm spindle option. Spindle torque is listed as 1,298 / 1,375 / 620 Nm on the FOX and 764 - 1050 - 1298 Nm on the NORMA. The table has no X travel or table load row for this pair, so those are not compared.
