Our best estimate for a cnc boring machine in this class — not a quote from Union. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Union PCE-130 is a large boring and milling machine with a 130 mm ram/quill spindle, built to order in sizes from 4,000 – 12,000 mm of X travel and 3,000 – 5,000 mm of Y. It is not in Union's current lineup. The listed figures come from a third-party listing and mix range values for the model with the dimensions of one advertised machine, so read them as a guide only.
The range rows describe the family. X depends on the table, Y is given as the crossrail span and Z as 1,500 mm of crossrail vertical travel. Spindle power is 52 kW and speed is 3,000 rpm, noted as head-dependent. Tables were configured to order, typically from 2,500 x 4,000 mm to 3,000 x 10,000 mm, and the maximum workpiece weight is 50,000 kg on a floor plate or moving table. Machine weight runs from approx. 80,000 – 150,000 kg depending on configuration, which makes foundation and rigging a major part of any relocation.
The second group of rows is in inches and looks like one particular machine: 157.48" of horizontal column travel in X, 118.11" of vertical head travel in Y, 78.74" of spindle travel in Z, a table 70.866" wide by 78.74" long, 2,500 RPM and a TNC 430 control where the range rows show a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl. The lower speed fits the head-dependent note. The different control and the smaller table show how far individual machines depart from the typical values, and why the build sheet of the machine on offer matters more than the model name.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 130 mm ram/quill spindle with 52 kW of listed power
- X travel of 4,000 – 12,000 mm and Y travel of 3,000 – 5,000 mm, depending on configuration
- Maximum workpiece weight of 50,000 kg on a floor plate or moving table
- Tables configured to order, typically 2,500 x 4,000 mm to 3,000 x 10,000 mm
Limitations
- Spindle speed is head-dependent: 3,000 rpm in one row and 2,500 RPM in another
- Two controls are listed, a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl and a TNC 430, so the control has to be established for each machine
- Machine weight of approx. 80,000 – 150,000 kg makes moving and re-installing one a major project
- Z is listed as 1,500 mm of crossrail vertical travel in one row and 78.74" of spindle travel in another, so the stroke has to be confirmed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
They depend on the build. The range rows give X as 4,000 – 12,000 mm, Y as 3,000 – 5,000 mm and Z as 1,500 mm. One advertised machine is listed with 157.48" in X, 118.11" in Y and 78.74" of spindle travel in Z. Confirm all three on the machine being considered.
02
Maximum workpiece weight is listed as 50,000 kg, on a floor plate or a moving table. Tables were configured to order, typically from 2,500 x 4,000 mm to 3,000 x 10,000 mm, and one listed machine has a table of 70.866" by 78.74". The rating of the table actually fitted is the figure that applies.
03
Listed power is 52 kW. Speed is listed as 3,000 rpm and noted as head-dependent, and a second row gives 2,500 RPM, so the maximum depends on the milling head fitted. The spindle is a 130 mm ram/quill type. No torque figure or taper is listed.
04
The listed figures show a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl in one row and a TNC 430 in another. A machine has one of them. Establish which, and its software level, before planning programming, as the two do not share part programs or post-processors.
