Advanced Machining Solutions Across Industries
Built for Real-World Production. Trusted by Global Manufacturers.
While FOOKE is widely known in aerospace, automotive, and rail industries, our high-performance 5-axis milling machines are also powering innovation in a variety of other sectors.
We don’t just deliver machines—we deliver results. Our turnkey solutions are engineered to match your exact component specs, production goals, and operational workflows—no matter the part complexity or industry.
Driving Down Costs. Boosting Efficiency.
With FOOKE, you get more than precision. You get real savings and long-term value.
We help you reduce per-part manufacturing costs through:
- Smart machine concepts tailored to your application
- Optimized machining strategies
- Purpose-selected tooling and accessories
- Scalable configurations to match your budget and production volume
Our philosophy? Use as much technology as necessary—no more, no less. That means better ROI, shorter lead times, and production that’s ready for tomorrow.
Case Study: Rotational Molding Tooling
Water Tank Covers for Wind Turbines
Pentas Moulding B.V. slashed machining time by 50% with FOOKE’s ENDURA® 411LINEAR 5-axis gantry milling machine.
Since early 2023, the first compact portal milling machine from Fooke’s new ENDURA® 400LINEAR series has been producing highly precise casting moulds in the in-house mould production at Pentas Moulding B.V. This new machine acquisition marks a first for both companies. The Pentas team uses their new 5-axis portal milling machine to achieve the required surface quality when producing aluminium moulds for rotational casting. This gives Pentas, an experienced specialist in rotational moulding, a significant advantage.
From planning and design to the creation of milling programmes, Pentas manufactures intricate aluminium moulds. A modern milling machine, like the one supplied by Fooke, is essential to meeting high-quality standards and achieving excellent geometries. The addition of the ENDURA® 411LINEAR opens up new opportunities and competitive advantages: large moulds can now be produced in one piece, eliminating individual production and assembly steps. This not only saves time but also provides Pentas with a unique selling point in the industry. Additionally, the company’s extensive experience and expertise in this field significantly contribute to reducing downtime.
Case Study: Defense-Grade Precision
Floating Bridge Components
Groundbreaking time savings through collaborative partnership and the implementation of modern manufacturing strategies.
To expand capacity for producing aluminum components for so-called "floating bridges," our client sought a new 5-axis milling machine.
With the right expertise and the application of innovative manufacturing technologies, we achieved a noticeable optimization of the existing process in collaboration with the client. Through this close, cooperative partnership and the use of cutting-edge technologies, we not only drastically reduced machining times but also provided the client with a future-proof turnkey solution.
The planned timelines were not only met but even exceeded—a complete success for both our client and FOOKE.
Precision Aluminum Milling for High-Demand Production
Built to Perform. Engineered for Scale.
Large-Format Aluminum Plate Machining—Faster. Smarter. Cleaner.
FOOKE’s aluminum plate milling systems are designed for serious performance. Featuring ultra-stable cutter heads up to 3,000 mm in diameter, these machines deliver clean, fast, and vibration-free results—no matter the alloy.
- Process large-format aluminum plates (up to 200 mm thick / 6,000 mm long) with high accuracy and reduced cycle times.
- Our ENDURA® 825 model helps you boost output, improve safety, and streamline operations across the board.
Blast furnace industry
Copper Conductor Machining – A Foundry Success Story
When a top-tier copper manufacturer needed to increase efficiency, they partnered with FOOKE to upgrade from legacy systems to our cutting-edge 5-axis ENDURA® gantry milling machine.
Through advanced tool strategies and tight collaboration, they achieved:
✔ Up to 50% reduction in cycle times
✔ Smooth ramp-up of complex geometries
✔ Rapid ROI through better throughput
They’ve since expanded their machine base and successfully tackled new high-complexity projects—unlocking even more efficiency gains.
Semi-finished products industry
