Soraluce Italia started 2012 on the right foot in the big dimensions milling and boring machines sector. The Cimolai group, world leader in large-scale metal constructions has, for the second time, put its trust in Soraluce Italia by acquiring a Soraluce FXR-64000 milling-boring machine with record dimensions: 64000 mm longitudinal travel, 8000 mm vertical travel and a cross travel of 2900 mm.

The FXR-64000 is special not only because of its size, but also because its technological innovations and advanced level of automation. These include: Modular Quill, stepless universal head, horizontal head, special measuring probes unit, angular head, pick-up for heads, tool magazine and preparation for rotary travelling unit. It should also be mentioned that the FXR-64000 is ready for integration with a second column during phase two to optimise plant productivity. The Cimolai group investment means yet another record: execution and machining of parts 65 metres long, 6.5 metres high and 4.5 metres wide, forming part of a manipulation system to be installed in a single industrial bay of special dimensions and characteristics.
