Soraluce vs Soraluce · CNC Boring Machines
Summary
The Soraluce TA-A 35 and the Soraluce TA-M 25 come from the same Soraluce line and share 1,200 mm of Y travel, but they are built around different tables. The Soraluce TA-A 35 has a long 3,800 x 1,000 mm (149.6 x 39.4 in) table for plates, beams and frames. The Soraluce TA-M 25 has a 1,250 x 1,250 mm table and is aimed at round parts that need turned and milled features in one setup.
The Soraluce TA-M 25 lists the higher figures elsewhere: 1,500 mm of Z travel against 1,250 mm (49.2 in), 32 kW of spindle power against 24 kW (32 hp), spindle versions of 5,000 / 6,000 / 7,000 rpm against 5,000 RPM, and 35,000 mm/min rapids against 30,000 mm/min (1,181 ipm).
