TYPICAL APPLICATIONS OF OUR PORTAL MILLING MACHINES
Mould making
Portal milling machines in the automotive industry
Our portal milling machines are vital in mould making. Our machines increase the productivity of the milling process by up to 40 percent. This reduces the time required for complete machining, roughing and finishing, from 73 to 47 hours while making no compromises. Our portal milling machines also guarantee excellent surface quality and, thanks to the outstanding quality of the motion control, an excellent “character line”.
Design industry
Portal milling machines in the automotive industry
FOOKE portal milling machines are also used in the automotive design sector. Our portal milling machines achieve excellent surface qualities with highly dynamic 5- side machining of large 1:1 design models. No wonder all OEMs in Germany manufacture their 1:1 models on portal milling machines from FOOKE. Due to this close cooperation with the leading players in the industry, we have a great deal of expertise and the necessary industry know-how.
Portal milling machines in the aviation industry
In the aviation industry, FOOKE portal milling machines are used, in particular, for 3D surface milling of thin-walled aluminum outer skin panels. Thanks to the highly dynamic linear drive technology, ideal component clamping and intelligent quality control, our portal milling machines can achieve productivity increases of up to 35% compared to corresponding reference processes. This way, our customized applications ensure the greatest possible customer benefit.
Portal milling machines for railway vehicles
FOOKE portal milling machines are also used in the production of railway vehicles. This includes the machining of side walls, roofs and floor assemblies - we are the market leader when it comes to machining large-volume aluminum profiles after all. Our long-bed portal milling machines offer X-travels of up to 90 meters and can be equipped with 2 portals if required. This allows set-up and machining to be completed in a single operation. Thanks to an appropriate workspace division, our portal milling machines also enable 3-position machining. Moreover, individual clamping concepts and fixtures can also be integrated on request.
