Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Fooke. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Fooke Endura 1204 is a large 5-axis machining center built around a 12,000 mm crossrail, the Y figure the table ties to the '1204' designation. X travel is listed as 15,000 mm to 60,000+ mm and engineered to order, and the ram stroke in Z runs from 1,800 mm to 2,500 mm depending on configuration. Fooke does not show this model in its current lineup, so the listed figures have not been confirmed against a maker page and are best read as a guide to what one particular machine may carry.
Most rows are ranges because the milling head decides them. The fork head swings ±100° in A, and C is listed as ±200° or 360° continuous depending on the head. Spindle power spans 28 kW to 75 kW. A high-speed head runs 0 – 24,000 RPM and a high-torque head 0 – 6,000 RPM, with HSK-A63 or HSK-A100 as the interface. Anyone looking at a used example needs the build sheet of that machine to know which of these it has.
On a crossrail this wide the accuracy rows are the ones to test at acceptance: ±0.025 mm positioning over full travel and ±0.012 mm repeatability. Rapids reach up to 25,000 mm/min and the table takes a distributed load up to 3,000 kg/m². The control row reads Siemens 840D sl with Fooke 5-axis cycles and thermal compensation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- A 12,000 mm crossrail in Y, with X travel listed from 15,000 mm to 60,000+ mm and engineered to order
- Ram stroke of 1,800 mm to 2,500 mm in Z, depending on configuration
- Two head types in the listed figures: a high-speed head at 0 – 24,000 RPM and a high-torque head at 0 – 6,000 RPM
- Fork milling head with ±100° in A and a C axis of ±200° or 360° continuous, depending on the head
- Listed positioning accuracy of ±0.025 mm over full travel with ±0.012 mm repeatability
Limitations
- Nearly every row is a range (28 kW to 75 kW, HSK-A63 or HSK-A100), so the figures of one machine have to come from its own build documents
- Rapids are listed at up to 25,000 mm/min, so repositioning along an X axis of 15,000 mm or more takes noticeable time
- The high-torque head stops at 6,000 RPM and 24,000 RPM needs the high-speed head, so one head does not cover both heavy roughing and small-tool finishing
- No tool magazine, machine weight or power supply row is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give 12,000 mm in Y across the crossrail, 15,000 mm to 60,000+ mm in X, engineered to order, and a ram stroke of 1,800 mm to 2,500 mm in Z depending on configuration. X and Z are therefore specific to each machine built.
02
Two: a high-speed head at 0 – 24,000 RPM and a high-torque head at 0 – 6,000 RPM. Spindle power is listed as 28 kW to 75 kW and the interface as HSK-A63 or HSK-A100, both depending on the head. The table does not say which power or interface belongs to which head.
03
±0.025 mm positioning accuracy over full travel and ±0.012 mm repeatability. The control row includes thermal compensation. On a used machine, ask for a recent calibration record that covers the whole X length, since the listed figures have not been confirmed.
04
The fork milling head is listed with ±100° in A. The C axis is ±200° or 360° continuous, depending on the head, so check which is fitted if the work needs unlimited C rotation.
05
The Endura 904 is listed with a 39 kW spindle at max. 24,000 min-1. The Endura 1204 lists spindle power as a range of 28 kW to 75 kW, with a 0 – 24,000 RPM high-speed head or a 0 – 6,000 RPM high-torque head, on a 12,000 mm crossrail.
