Project solution

SORALUCE PMG 14000 Gantry machining centre:

High capacity: 14,000 mm longitudinal travel, 5,500 cross travel and 2,000 mm vertical travel.
Direct drive spindle motor, 43 kW / 6000 rpm.
Stepless universal head, machined from five sides in just one clamping.
Pendulum machining with two work stations, enabling zero downtime.
Gigantic workpieces machined in a horizontal position.
Tool changing system with storage capacity for 80 tools.
SORALUCE DAS system, Dynamic Active Stabiliser, patented.
SORALUCE Adaptive Control.
SORALUCE Data system.
Software development.
Consultancy.
Covers applications for several sectors such as shipyard, textile, aircraft, machine tools, mining and gearboxes.

"In addition to the interesting possibilities of a large gantry system, it was not least the modern technologies of the machine that convinced us… "After all, we have been working with Soraluce for a long time and are therefore used to a particularly high standard, but the technological possibilities still don´t cease to excite me."
