How much does the Nicolas Correa FOX W cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Nicolas Correa FOX W 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 W in Nicolas Correa FOX W stands for a second vertical axis. Besides the ram's Z travel of 1,000 / 1,500 / 1,750 mm, the crossbeam itself moves on a W axis of 1,000 / 2,000 mm. Everything else is a bridge-type mill with a moving table: X travel of 3,000 - 8,000 mm and Y of 3,000 / 3,750 / 4,250 / 5,000 mm.
Why move the beam? A fixed bridge is set for the tallest part the buyer expects, and every lower part is then cut with the ram hanging far out. Lowering the beam brings the ram bearing close to the cut again. The table lists the distance from table to spindle as 2,140 / 2,640 / 3,140 mm, so the FOX W clears parts that the fixed-beam FOX cannot, without giving up stiffness on shallow ones.
Clearance between the columns is 2,250 / 3,000 / 3,500 / 4,250 mm. The table measures 3,500 - 8,500 mm by 2,000 - 2,500 - 3,000 mm and carries 15,000 - 25,000 kg in total. Feed is 30 m/min in X, Y and Z.
Three spindles are listed column by column: 6,000 rpm with 37 kW and 1,298 Nm, 6,000 rpm with 52 kW and 1,375 Nm, and 10,000 rpm with 42 kW and 620 Nm, on ISO-50 Big Plus or HSK-100. Standard equipment includes the automatic universal head, linear guides in X and Y and a friction guide at the Z axis. An integrated turning plate and an automatic pallet changer are on the options list, alongside the usual tool magazines and head-changer.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Moving crossbeam: W axis of 1,000 / 2,000 mm on top of 1,000 / 1,500 / 1,750 mm of ram travel
- Distance from table to spindle of 2,140 / 2,640 / 3,140 mm for tall workpieces
- Y travel up to 5,000 mm with up to 4,250 mm between the columns
- Table load of 15,000 - 25,000 kg
- Optional integrated turning plate and automatic pallet changer
Limitations
- X travel ends at 8,000 mm because the table moves; longer parts need a gantry model
- The page gives no feed figure for the W axis
- Tool magazine, head-changer and pallet changer are optional equipment
- Distance between columns is narrower than on the FOX at the same Y travel: 2,250 mm here against 2,500 mm on the FOX for the smallest size

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A vertical travel of the crossbeam, listed as 1,000 / 2,000 mm. It is separate from the ram's Z travel of 1,000 / 1,500 / 1,750 mm. Positioning the beam close to the part keeps the ram short during the cut, and raising it gives clearance for tall parts.
02
The table lists the distance between table and spindle as 2,140 / 2,640 / 3,140 mm, depending on the configuration. The part, its fixture and the tool all have to fit inside that figure, so allow for the longest tool in the job.
03
The FOX has a fixed crossbeam; the FOX W adds the W axis. The FOX W also lists a Y travel of 5,000 mm and a 3,000 mm table width, neither of which is in the FOX table. X travel, 3,000 - 8,000 mm, and table load, 15,000 - 25,000 kg, are the same on both.
04
Speeds of 6,000 / 6,000 / 10,000 rpm, power of 37 / 52 / 42 kW and torque of 1,298 / 1,375 / 620 Nm, on an ISO-50 Big Plus or HSK-100 taper. The automatic universal head is standard and other heads, including an automatic head-changer, are optional.
