Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Fooke ENDURA 600LINEAR 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
The Fooke ENDURA 600LINEAR is a walk-in gantry milling machine for full-size models and large light-material parts. Its overhead portal travels 5,000 - 30,000 mm in X, with 2,800 / 3,500 mm of Y and 1,500 / 2,000 / 2,300 mm of Z. Fooke calls it the entry model for 1:1 processing in vehicle design, which is the classic use: a complete car body in clay or block material, milled from all sides in one set-up.
The machine room is at floor level. Parts arrive by crane or forklift, or on a model plate, and nothing has to be lifted onto a table. Fooke also names aviation components and customised clamping and suction systems, so the same layout serves for trimming large CFRP/GFRP parts.
Unlike the compact ENDURA machines, the X axis here is a rack-and-pinion gantry drive. A rack can be made as long as the hall allows, which is how the X travel reaches its upper limit. Y and Z keep water-cooled linear motors, and the rotary axes have torque motors. Feed rates are 5 - 80,000 mm/min in all three linear axes, with acceleration up to 3.0 m/sec².
The accuracy rows reflect the long axis: 0.030 mm in X, 0.020 mm in Y and 0.015 mm in Z, with a position scatter of 0.015 mm in X and 0.010 mm in Y and Z.
Four milling heads are listed, 4, 9, 11 and 15. Milling head 9 is the one with an integrated suction unit in Fooke's head brochure, with HSK-A63 spindles of 39 kW at 24,000 rpm and 32 Nm, or 63 kW at 30,000 rpm and 31 Nm. Steel and cast iron are not in this model's material list.
