Overview
The FMC SERIE DUE (example model: FMC 230) is a 4-axis machining centre designed for drilling and milling aluminium and steel profiles. It integrates a 10-position automatic tool magazine, tool-free vice jaw adjustment and a fully enclosed ergonomic guard providing clear visibility. Patent solutions from FOM INDUSTRIE such as X FLOW (dynamic lubrication nozzle orientation) and X PAL (Positioning Assistant Led) are available to optimise lubrication and assist operator loading.

Main features

• 4 controlled axes for profile drilling and milling
• Standard fixed tool magazine with capacity for up to 10 tools
• Tool-free vice jaw adjustment for fast setup
• 5 kW electrospindle (software module available for rigid tapping)
• X FLOW: dynamic orientation of lubrication nozzles (FOM INDUSTRIE patent)
• X PAL: multifunction LED positioning assistant (FOM INDUSTRIE patent)
• Operator control strip for machine operation from any station
• 24" display console mounted to the guard cabin
• Fully enclosed ergonomic casing ensuring operator visibility and protection

Machining capabilities and accessories

• Machining head capable of working on 3 sides of the profile; option for milling disk for end machining
• Bar length detection device to position operations with precision
• Pneumatically controlled left fixed bar stop; optional second stop on right
• Cast aluminium vices with automatic X positioning (by uprights or independent)
• Tool length measuring device
• Lighting and LED assistance for operator guidance and machine status

Software
FSTCam4 is the integrated CAM package for extruded aluminium elements: it manages design, job preparation, work lists and execution in a single application and uses advanced machining strategies to optimise cycle times and part quality.
