5-Axis Moving Gantry "Fixed Table" (incl. large-envelope and FA277FT shuttle versions)

industrial

This double-column moving-gantry line machines over a fixed table with envelopes from 12ft × 12ft up to 15ft × 46ft × 6ft and Z stroke to 72 inches, serving aerospace, composites, and stone/alloy work. TCP technology on the FANUC 310i-B5 enables exact interpolation in full 5-axis simultaneous motion. The FA277FT variant adds twin in-feed shuttle tables, high-torque spindle with optional through-tool coolant, dual flood halos, and an air-curtain barrier for flood or dry cutting.

These specs have not yet been verified against manufacturer published data. Treat them as approximate.
