Conventional Universal Knee-Type Milling Machine CORMAK FU1600

FU1600 Knee-Type Milling Machine is a professional universal metal milling machine designed for machining large and heavy components. The 1600x500mm worktable with a load capacity of 1,800kg, ISO50 spindle and 7.5kW main drive provide parameters suitable for intensive operation in production facilities, toolrooms and maintenance departments.

FU1600 universal milling machine – heavy-duty construction, ISO50 spindle and 1,800kg table load capacity

The FU1600 has been designed as an industrial knee-type milling machine for demanding machining processes. The 1600x500mm table with a load capacity of 1,800kg enables stable clamping of heavy workpieces and extensive machining tooling. Travels of 1,200mm on the X axis, 700mm on the Y axis and 500mm on the Z axis provide a wide positioning range relative to the tool.

The quiet-running vertical spindle gearbox uses hardened and ground gears, supporting stable operation of the drive mechanism. The universal milling head, swivelling in two planes, extends the spindle positioning range and enables machining of surfaces requiring a change in the tool approach angle.

Main advantages of the FU1600 milling machine

• 1600x500mm table – large surface for clamping workpieces.
• 1,800kg table load capacity – enables machining of heavy components.
• X/Y/Z travels 1,200/700/500mm – large working area.
• ISO50 spindle taper – compatible with industrial milling tooling.
• 27 spindle speeds within the range of 30 - 2,050rpm.
• 360° swivel head – enables flexible tool positioning.
• 7.5kW main drive – parameters suited to professional metal machining.

Construction and technology of the FU1600 industrial metal milling machine

One of the machine's key assemblies is the spindle with an ISO50 taper. The speed range includes 27 steps from 30 to 2,050rpm, allowing the rotational parameters to be matched to the tool diameter, material type and nature of the operation. The distance from the spindle nose to the table surface is 50 - 550mm.

Universal milling head and angled machining

The milling head swivels in two planes, enabling the tool position to be changed relative to the workpiece. Combining both swivel directions provides a wide range of working positions, allowing the FU1600 universal milling machine to be used for milling flat surfaces, slots and angled surfaces.

Working feeds and rapid positioning

The feed speed on the X and Y axes is 10 - 1,000mm/min, while on the Z axis it is 5 - 500mm/min. Rapid feeds reach 2,540mm/min on the X and Y axes and 1,700mm/min on the Z axis. This reduces positioning movements and improves the efficiency of successive operations.

Applications of the FU1600 knee-type milling machine

The FU1600 metal milling machine is designed for production facilities, toolrooms, repair workshops and maintenance departments. It is suitable for machining housings, plates, structural components and machine parts, particularly where a high table load capacity, large travel range and the ability to position the head at different angles are required. It is a solution for users looking for a heavy-duty ISO50 industrial milling machine for a variety of machining processes.

Machine characteristics

• The quiet-running vertical spindle gearbox with hardened and ground gears provides precise machining of materials.
• The universal milling head, swivelling in two planes, enables easy switching of the machining mode from horizontal to vertical.
• The combination of both swivel planes enables the head to be positioned at almost any angle, increasing machining flexibility.
