Overview
The Fermat WFD 130 is a CNC floor-type horizontal boring and milling machine from Fermat, a Czech manufacturer that has emerged as a significant supplier of large-format boring machines to the global energy, transportation, and heavy machinery sectors. The WFD 130 features a 130 mm spindle on a floor-mounted column, with the workpiece fixtured on a floor plate or T-slot floor. Floor-type boring mills are preferred for extremely large and heavy workpieces — marine diesel engine blocks, wind turbine gearbox housings, large pump and compressor bodies — that cannot be mounted on a table. The WFD 130's headstock travels vertically 2,500 mm, and the column traverses 6,000 mm or more on floor rails, enabling access to the full surface of very large structures. Fermat's machines use Heidenhain iTNC 640 control with full contour milling capability, and the company's Prague-based applications team provides programming support for complex large-format machining programs.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Floor-type design handles extremely large and heavy workpieces with no table weight limit
- 6,000 mm column traverse accesses the full length of large structural components
- Fermat competitive pricing vs Western European boring mill manufacturers
- Heidenhain iTNC 640 provides full contour programming capability
- Optional rotary table adds indexing capability for prismatic workpieces
Limitations
- Floor-type setup requires precise floor fixture preparation for each workpiece
- Fermat parts and service network thinner outside Czech Republic and Germany
- 130 mm spindle smaller than heavier-duty 200 mm machines for very large bores
- Floor-type machines require larger floor area than table-type equivalents

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Floor-type machines have no table weight limit and can access workpieces of essentially any size. They are preferred when workpieces exceed 5,000-10,000 kg or are too large to rotate on a table. Marine engine blocks and large turbine frames typically require floor-type boring.
02
Yes. With a right-angle milling head attachment, the WFD 130 performs vertical milling, face milling, and T-slot milling. The machine is a full 5-face machining center in the floor-boring configuration.
03
Floor-type setup typically requires 4-8 hours for precision alignment of the workpiece on the floor fixture. CNC probing cycles can accelerate the alignment process significantly once datum points are established.
