The linear motor drive technology has already impressively proven itself in many machines from FOOKE’s range of products. Therefore, the linear motor drive technology has been consequently used again with the Lateral Milling Machine ENDURA® 1100LINEAR. Hence is this machine concept especially suited for high-speed machining of large surface work pieces. Next to the extremely high dynamic, the accessibility to the work pieces and the downstream of chips are surely big advantages of this machine concept.
The power and precision of these machines is reflected in their acceleration of up to 10 m/sec², closed loop system reinforcements of 5 m/(min x mm) and a maximum deviation of 0.015 mm. These machines are as accurate, and achieve the same surface quality, as conventional portal milling machines, but they are 50 % faster. The KV factor of 5-7 m/(min x mm) is a clear indication of the machine’s productivity; with conventional drive technology, the KV factor is generally approximately 1-3 m/(min x mm).
