3-Axis CNC Machining Centre

Fom Industrie Argo 35

3-Axis CNC Machining Centre – FOM Industrie ARGO 35 – Year 2002 – 4-Position Automatic Tool Magazine

FOM Industrie ARGO 35 CNC machining centre, manufactured in 2002, designed for milling, drilling and slotting operations on aluminium profiles.

The machine is equipped with a FOM VISION PLUS CNC control system, managing the three axes X, Y and Z, and a 4 kW electrospindle with adjustable speed up to 12,000 rpm.

It also features a 4-position automatic tool magazine, allowing different tools to be used during machining cycles.

The machining centre is equipped with 4 pneumatic clamps with manual positioning, a retractable pneumatic reference stop and a micro-drop lubrication system using pure oil.

Axis movement is performed through linear guides with recirculating ball bearings, with a rack-and-pinion drive system for the X-axis and recirculating ball screws for the Y and Z axes.
