Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Röders. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Röders RFM600 is a 5-axis high-speed milling machine with 600 x 500 x 350 mm of travel (23.6 x 19.7 x 13.8 in), linear motors on all axes and a spindle listed at 24,000 RPM, with 42,000 and 60,000 RPM as options. It is not part of the current Röders lineup, so everything here rests on the listed figures and should be checked against the individual machine.

The table measures 600 x 500 mm, the same as the X and Y travel, so the spindle can reach every corner of it. The load limit is what narrows the work: 200 kg (441 lb), fixture included. Set against a machine weight of 7,500 kg (16,535 lb), that is a small payload on a very heavy structure. Those are the proportions of a machine meant for fast finishing passes, not for heavy roughing. The base is Granitan mineral cast composite.

Spindle power is 17 kW (22.8 hp). Two tapers are listed, HSK-E40 and HSK-A63, alongside three top speeds, and the table does not say which taper goes with which speed. A machine in service has one combination fitted, so ask for the spindle nameplate. The highest speed suits very small cutters; the 24,000 RPM spindle covers a wider range of tool diameters.

The B-axis swivels ±120°, rapids are 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) and positioning accuracy is listed as < 0.003 mm (< 3 µm). The control is the Röders RMS6, with a different control shown as an option. The power requirement is 20 kW. There is no row for a C-axis, a tool magazine or coolant.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Linear motors on all axes with 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids
The 600 x 500 mm table matches the 600 mm (23.6 in) X and 500 mm (19.7 in) Y travel, so the whole clamping surface is reachable
Listed positioning accuracy of < 0.003 mm (< 3 µm) on a Granitan mineral cast composite base
Spindle options of 42,000 and 60,000 RPM above the 24,000 RPM listed first
B-axis swivel of ±120° for reaching angled faces without re-clamping

Limitations

Table load is 200 kg (441 lb), which rules out heavy mould bases and large fixtures
Z travel is 350 mm (13.8 in), and tool length and part height both come out of it
HSK-E40 and HSK-A63 are both listed without saying which taper belongs to which spindle speed
Weighs 7,500 kg (16,535 lb) and needs a 20 kW supply

Best For

High-speed finishing of small mould and die components under 200 kg (441 lb) Small-cutter work that needs the 42,000 or 60,000 RPM spindle options 5-axis parts that fit a 600 x 500 mm table Work with tolerance targets near the listed < 0.003 mm (< 3 µm)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels and table size of the RFM600?

Travels are listed as 600 mm (23.6 in) in X, 500 mm (19.7 in) in Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) in Z. The table is 600 x 500 mm, matching the X and Y travel, and the B-axis swivels ±120°.

02 Which spindle does the RFM600 have?

The listed spindle runs to 24,000 RPM at 17 kW (22.8 hp), with 42,000 and 60,000 RPM spindles as options. Tapers are given as HSK-E40 and HSK-A63, but the table does not pair a taper with a speed, so confirm the fitted spindle and its tool interface on the machine.

03 How much weight can the RFM600 table carry?

The listed table load capacity is 200 kg (441 lb). That figure has to cover the workpiece and whatever holds it, so a vise, a zero-point plate or a pallet reduces what is left for the part itself.

04 What control does the RFM600 use?

The control row lists the Röders RMS6, with another control available as an option. A given machine has one or the other, so confirm which before planning post-processors and operator training. No software options are listed in the table.
