A UNION horizontal boring mill is guaranteed to deliver a very high level of precision, and this precision can be maintained during heavy-duty cutting operations in large-scale manufacturing operations. The company’s floor type boring mills are grouped together in the P-Series category, and are available with or without a RAM.
The P-Series floor plate was engineered to machine particularly large and heavy workpieces. Loads of up to 250 tons can be processed with great precision, offering a level of versatility and efficiency that large-scale manufacturers rely on. These powerful machining tools have fully integrated trunnion devices, rotary tables and floor plates, which means they are fully prepared for the most intensive production lines in the world.
Each floor type UNION horizontal boring machine comes with an automatic tool changer and a permanently integrated facing head. They are available with spindles diameters of 130mm and 150mm. If you’re looking for a floor plate with RAM, you’ll need a PR-Series machine, which is available with a spindle diameter of 130mm, 150mm, 162, 180mm, 200mm or 262mm.
There are also several discontinued floor type horizontal boring mills that can be picked up from used machinery marketplaces. The UNION BFT 80, for instance, comes with a powered rotary table and DRO as standard. Four-axis DRO and a slightly higher spindle power are available on the UNION BFT 90 3. If you’re dealing with larger, heavier workpieces, you should be searching used machinery marketplaces for the UNION BFT 130, which has CNC control as standard.
