How much does the PAMA Speedmill cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the PAMA Speedmill 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
There is no boring bar on the PAMA Speedmill. It is a horizontal floor type milling machine whose ram carries either a driver for attachment heads or a spindle, both with Direct Drive, and the work is done by the heads. That makes it the milling specialist among PAMA's floor-type machines.
PAMA names the two ram versions MDD, a headstock-ram equipped with a driver, and FDD, a headstock-ram equipped with a spindle. The table gives the ram spindle as 66 - 82 kW and 822 - 2,494 Nm (S1) at 4,000 - 6,000 rpm. A universal head is listed separately at 37 / 50 kW and 1,000 / 1,200 Nm with a spindle speed of 6,000 rpm, and its A and C axes index to 360,000 positions. With that resolution the head can be set to practically any angle for five-sided machining.
The structure favours speed. X and Y run on roller guideways, the column is thermally symmetric with a central headstock, and rapid feed is up to 35,000 mm/min on X, Y and Z. The ram, 430 x 430 - 500 x 500 mm in section, is guided by hydrostatic pads and has real-time compensation for thermal elongation.
Travels match the Speedmill B: Y of 2,000 - 5,000 mm, Z of 1,200 - 2,000 mm, and X of 5,000 mm plus extensions of 1,000 mm. The series has four sizes, 1000 to 4000.
Attachment heads are thermally stabilised by fluid at controlled temperature. Tables, tool magazines and head magazines are selected per order, with Siemens, Heidenhain or Fanuc CNC.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. The Speedmill is a milling machine with a ram that carries a driver (MDD) or a spindle (FDD), both Direct Drive. The version with a boring bar and a W axis is the Speedmill B, which lists a boring spindle of 120 - 160 mm.
02
The ram headstock is listed with 66 - 82 kW and 822 - 2,494 Nm in S1 and a spindle speed of 4,000 - 6,000 rpm. The universal head is listed with 37 / 50 kW, 1,000 / 1,200 Nm and 6,000 rpm.
03
PAMA lists A/C axis positioning as 360,000 positions. Attachment heads are thermally stabilised with fluid recirculated at a controlled temperature, and lubrication is by air-oil or climatised oil recirculation, according to the maker.
04
X travel of the column is 5,000 mm plus 1,000 mm extensions, Y travel of the headstock 2,000 - 5,000 mm and Z travel of the ram 1,200 - 2,000 mm. Rapid feed on all three is up to 35,000 mm/min. Four sizes are listed, 1000 to 4000.
