Soraluce FP60

The Soraluce FP60 is a 5-axis milling machine defined by its head: a mechanical universal head that contours in five axes and indexes in steps of 0.001° x 0.001°, carrying a 60 kW (80.5 hp) spindle that reaches 7000 rpm. Travels are 6000 mm (236.2 in) longitudinal in X, 3200 mm (126.0 in) vertical in Y and 1600 mm (63.0 in) cross in Z.

The head row matters more than the travels. It is listed as mechanical and as a contouring head, so angled faces and swept surfaces can be cut in a continuous path as well as at fixed angles. With 0.001° resolution on both head axes, any compound angle can be set from the program without a separate angle head, and the full 60 kW spindle rating is the only power figure Soraluce gives for the machine.

Three options change what the FP60 does. Rotary tables for a 4th and 5th axis come in multiple dimensions and traverses and carry up to 100 t. Pendulum machining is available, which splits the 6000 mm X axis into two zones so one part can be loaded while another is cut. A turning option is available as well. None of these belongs to the base figures, and the page gives no table size, table load or rapid rates, so those have to come from the quotation.

Tool capacity is 60 and the control is a Heidenhain TNC 640. Compared with the FS 8000, whose spindle is offered as 40 or 60 kW at 100% ED with 6,000 / 7,000 rpm, the FP60 sits at the upper end of that range and is listed with a single 6000 x 3200 x 1600 mm envelope instead of a menu of travels.
