Overview
The Pama Speedram 1000 is a ram-type horizontal boring and milling machining center from Italian specialist Pama, designed for high-productivity machining of medium-to-large workpieces in aerospace, automotive tooling, and energy sectors. The ram design provides a rigid spindle carrier that travels vertically and horizontally without the column movement required on floor borers, enabling faster dynamic performance and higher accuracy on multi-face machining. The 100mm diameter spindle is mounted in the ram body with 800mm of ram extension (W-axis). A rotary table option in sizes up to 2,500mm enables 4-face machining in a single setup. The Speedram 1000 incorporates Pama's proprietary spindle thermal compensation system that monitors and corrects for thermal growth during long machining cycles. The Siemens 840D sl control with Pama's machining cycles covers standard boring, milling, and facing operations with simple CNC input.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A ram-type boring machine has a spindle mounted in a rigid ram that moves horizontally and vertically, with workpiece movement on a cross-slide table. A floor-type has the spindle in a column that travels along floor rails, with the workpiece on a fixed floor plate. Ram types offer faster dynamics and better accuracy for medium-size work; floor types handle unlimited workpiece weight for large structural parts.
