Colgar FRAL hydrostatic boring and milling machines

COLGAR FRAL

FRAL is the series of Colgar machines featuring hydrostatic guides. The essential features that set Colgar's boring and milling machines apart from the competition are the hydrostatic guides operating at low oil pressure on the bearing surfaces. This results in undeniable advantages:

Total Absence of Sliding Friction: There is no contact between the guides and the counter-guides, leading to no wear and minimal maintenance, and ensuring that the geometry remains unchanged over time.

Great Rigidity: The machines maintain high rigidity even under heavy loads.

Absence of Backlash: Achieves the utmost precision in positioning with no backlash.

Maximum Constancy of Response: Consistent response to command pulses with minimal error values.

High Torque Applicable to the Spindle: Capable of handling high torque.

Long Life of the Sliding Guides: Extended operational life due to the nature of the hydrostatic guides.

Value of the machine and the technology largely unaffected by time.

The FRAL seríes comes ín a upright or T confıguratíon
The maín feature that makes the Colgar FRAL seríes a machine wíth an extremely rigíd structure, precíse and performíng over tíme ís the preloaded hydrostatíc guíde support wíth low pressure and high volumes.
Líke the tables, the machine has electrowelded structures subjected to FEM analysis and heat treatments. The  ram and some table plates are made of spheroídal cast-íron castíng. The large dímensíons of the structures
and the hydrostatic guídes allow the machíne to be stable in any working posítíon and guarantee a very wíde workíng range compared to other machínes in the category thanks to the long outward travel of the ram and ;
the boríng spíndle. The ram is arranged in lateral posítion wíth respect to the upright and slides on two guídes wíth a ball screw and counterweíght. 
In the T version, simply called PROG, the ram is fíxed but outstanding, rígíd and pyramid-shaped to ensure that the centre of the table ís reached both duríng boríng wíth the maín spíndle and during millíng wíth the accessory heads. in thís configuratíon with pallets of 45-ton capacíty and 4700 Nm torque, the PROG ís classífíed among the largest machíníng centers ín the world. 
In the mobíle upríght confíguratíon, the dimensions of the axes and the tables are increasíngly custom solutíons to satisfy the varíous market needs yet maíntaining the desígn phílosophy and basíc construction.
The ram and the boring spíndle of varíous dímensíons guarantee balanced performance duríng machíníng.
Wíth the FRAL series and íts consolídated technology and thanks to the experíence Colgar has cultívated for 1 years in the constructíon of hydrostatíc machínes, you can perform heavy machíning operatíons on hígh-tensile  components, but also símple operatíons on very large electrowelded pieces complícated to posítíon. BecauseColgar desígns and buílds special accessory heads ín-house, it is great ín the taílor-made and stands high in the favor of the market and íts users for an unequalled productívíty.
