How much does the Fooke ENDURA 1000LINEAR cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Fooke ENDURA 1000LINEAR that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Length is the whole idea of the Fooke ENDURA 1000LINEAR, a 5-axis long bed gantry milling machine whose X travel is listed as 5,000 - 60,000 mm. Y is 4,500 mm (177.2 in) and Z is 1,600 / 1,900 / 2,100 mm. Fooke says the design can be manufactured in almost any length and names its main trade plainly: aluminum profiles for rail technology.
A bed this long is used differently from a normal machine. Fooke offers three-station machining, so that one part is cut while others are loaded and unloaded in parallel. The operator cabin and the tool changer travel with the gantry, since walking back to a fixed magazine would cost more time than the cut. The page also mentions an FSW retrofit for friction stir welding with a max. axial force of 25 kN, which lets welded panels be joined and milled on one bed.
The drive layout follows from the length. X is a rack-and-pinion gantry unit with motors in a master-slave arrangement and an indirect measuring system. Y and Z have water-cooled linear motors and direct scales. Feed rates are 5 - 55,000 mm/min in X and 5 - 65,000 mm/min in Y and Z, with acceleration up to 5 m/sec².
Read the accuracy rows with that layout in mind. Position accuracy is +/- 0.080 mm in X, +/- 0.030 mm in Y and +/- 0.025 mm in Z, and repeatability is +/- 0.015 mm in each axis. Those are honest figures for a profile machine, not for mould finishing.
Unlike the compact ENDURA models, this one is built and aligned on a foundation designed for it. Milling heads 4, 8 and 9 are listed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- X travel of 5,000 - 60,000 mm, which Fooke says can be built in almost any length
- 4,500 mm (177.2 in) of Y travel across the bed
- Three-station machining for loading and unloading parallel to the cut

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The technical data gives an X-axis travel of 5,000 - 60,000 mm, and Fooke states that the long bed design can be manufactured in almost any length. Y is 4,500 mm (177.2 in) and Z is 1,600 / 1,900 / 2,100 mm.
02
Position accuracy is listed as +/- 0.080 mm in X, +/- 0.030 mm in Y and +/- 0.025 mm in Z. Repeatability is +/- 0.015 mm in all three. The X axis uses an indirect measuring system; Y, Z and the rotary axes have direct measuring systems.
03
Y and Z have water-cooled linear motors. X is a rack-and-pinion gantry unit with drive motors in a master-slave arrangement. Fooke also notes that the model is available with mechanical drive components or linear motor drives.
04
The page lists milling heads 4, 8 and 9. Head 4 has HSK-A63 spindles of 42 kW, 24,000 rpm and 67 Nm, or 63 kW, 30,000 rpm and 31 Nm. Head 9 has 39 kW, 24,000 rpm and 32 Nm, or 63 kW, 30,000 rpm and 31 Nm.
