FB1005 FB 1005: efficiency 6 ways

Productivity

depending on the complexity of theparts to be machined, the FB 1005 can be equipped with additional axes, for the indexing (C), tilting (B) and feeding (W) of the bar. This modular system extends machining capacity to 6 axes, giving the FB 1005 far greater flexibility when it comes to milling bars.

Wide range of applications

The Almac FB 1005 is a horizontal bar milling machine, capable of si- multaneous machining on 3, 4, 5 or 6 axes, designed for producing high precision parts from either raw ma- terial (profile bar) or semi-finished products. In any sectors involving high tech- nology – optical instruments, watch- making-jewellery, medical, dental and connector industries, fine leather craft, accessories or fine electronics, to name a few – the FB 1005 is ideal for machining high precision parts from bar. Its modular design and easily programmed, user-friendly CNC control make it extremely flexible.

Modularity Economical

The FB 1005 is highly flexible and modular. It has been designed to allow a wide range of optional equipment to be added to the basic configuration, to suit the type and complexity of the workpieces. When equipped with the CNC bar feed system – the sixth axis (W) – the FB 1005 significantly reduces raw material waste.

Ergonomic Open machining

The ergonomic design and compact size of the FB 1005 offers maximum operating convenience – from opti- mum security and operating com- fort to easy access to the mechanical parts during startup operations. The standard version of the FB 1005 works on the X, Y, Z axes, which are normally sufficient for workpieces that only require machining on a few predefined surfaces. However,
