Overview

The PAMA Speedmat 3000 is a table-type horizontal boring and milling machine that represents PAMA's solution for shops needing Italian-built precision in a more compact and production-oriented configuration than the floor-type Speedram series. The table-type design integrates a CNC rotary table into the machine's axis system, simplifying workpiece setup and enabling faster multi-face machining cycles. With a 130 mm spindle diameter, the Speedmat 3000 targets medium-sized industrial components — gearbox housings, compressor casings, pump bodies, and similar parts that require precise bore relationships across multiple faces.

The Speedmat's table-type architecture places the workpiece on a rotary table that moves in the Z-axis (toward and away from the spindle column). This configuration provides several advantages: the column stays in a fixed X-Y position during Z-motion, the rotary table adds a full fourth axis for automatic indexing, and the integrated design means faster setup times compared to floor-type machines where workpieces must be individually aligned on floor plates. The rotary table handles workpieces up to 12,000 kg with CNC indexing accuracy of 3 arc-seconds.

PAMA equips the Speedmat 3000 with hydrostatic guideways on the critical Y-axis and column slide, while the X and Z axes use precision roller guideways for faster rapid traverse. This hybrid approach balances the surface finish quality and positioning smoothness of hydrostatic technology on the axis that matters most for boring accuracy with the speed and lower maintenance requirements of roller guides on the traverse axes. Spindle power of 30 kW with speeds from 5 to 4,000 RPM provides a broad operating range from heavy boring to high-speed milling.

The Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control handles 4+1 axis simultaneous control, and PAMA's proprietary machining cycles for boring, facing, and thread milling are pre-loaded for faster programming. The 60-tool ATC (expandable to 120) supports complex parts requiring many operations, and the machine's chip conveyor and coolant filtration system are designed for continuous production rather than one-off job shop work. The Speedmat 3000 is PAMA's answer for shops that need boring mill precision with machining center productivity.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Table-type design with CNC rotary table provides faster setup and automatic multi-face indexing compared to floor-type machines
Hybrid guideway system combines hydrostatic quality on critical axes with roller guide speed on traverse axes
12,000 kg table capacity handles the majority of medium-sized industrial castings and weldments
3 arc-second table indexing accuracy ensures precise bore-to-bore relationships across multiple workpiece faces
4,000 RPM max spindle speed is exceptionally high for a 130 mm boring mill, adding significant milling capability
PAMA's pre-loaded boring and facing cycles accelerate programming for common horizontal boring operations

Limitations

Table-type design limits maximum workpiece size compared to floor-type machines where parts can be as large as the floor plates
35,000 kg machine weight requires substantial foundation preparation, though less than floor-type Speedram machines
PAMA's service network outside Europe is limited compared to Japanese and Korean boring mill manufacturers
Hybrid guideway system combines two maintenance regimes — hydrostatic oil systems plus roller guide lubrication
2,500 mm X-axis travel may be limiting for shops handling larger castings that require extended horizontal reach

Best For

Gearbox and transmission manufacturers requiring precise multi-face boring of medium-sized housings Pump and compressor builders machining casings, manifolds, and valve bodies up to 12,000 kg General industrial shops needing boring mill precision with the productivity of a table-type configuration Production-oriented facilities running families of similar parts where the rotary table accelerates setups Shops transitioning from older manual boring mills to modern CNC with PAMA's programming ease European manufacturers with access to PAMA's service network seeking Italian-built precision boring capability

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a PAMA Speedmat 3000 cost?

New PAMA Speedmat 3000 machines price between $600,000 and $1,200,000 depending on table size, ATC capacity, and optional accessories like the facing head. Used machines trade in the $250,000-$500,000 range depending on age, condition, and configuration.

02 How does the Speedmat 3000 compare to the Speedram 2?

The Speedmat 3000 is a table-type machine with integrated CNC rotary table, while the Speedram 2 is floor-type. The Speedmat offers faster setups and automatic indexing, while the Speedram handles larger and heavier workpieces. The Speedmat is more production-oriented; the Speedram is more flexible for oversized work.

03 What are the advantages of hybrid guideways?

The Speedmat 3000 uses hydrostatic guideways on the Y-axis and column where boring accuracy is most critical, and roller guideways on X and Z for faster rapid traverse. This gives the best of both technologies — hydrostatic positioning quality where it matters most and roller guide speed for faster non-cutting moves.

04 Can the Speedmat 3000 replace a horizontal machining center?

For work requiring precise boring operations, the Speedmat 3000 is superior to horizontal machining centers due to its 130 mm quill spindle and facing head capability. However, for high-speed milling-intensive work, a dedicated HMC with higher spindle speeds and faster rapids may be more productive.

05 What control system does the Speedmat 3000 use?

The Speedmat 3000 uses the Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control, which is standard across PAMA's product line. PAMA adds their proprietary boring, facing, and thread milling cycles to the Siemens platform for faster programming of common horizontal boring operations.
