Extracla milling and boring machine

FPT INDUSTRIE presents you the news of 2017 and a selection of some significant equipment installed last year.
For more than 40 years, FPT INDUSTRIE S.p.A. has been manufacturing CNC milling and boring machines for the mechanical and die & mould fields. Since its establishment in 1969, FPT INDUSTRIE S.p.A. has greatly increased and significantly consolidated its presence on the domestic and international market, confirming its brand name as a synonym of technology, accuracy, and reliability. The constant growth of the company affirms the validity of the adopted manufacturing and commercial strategies.
In 1997, FPT INDUSTRIE S.p.A. took over CASTEL, an important Italian trademark for the manufacture of travelling column type boring machines, thereby extending its product range and increasing its market share compared to its competitors. The success of FPT INDUSTRIE S.p.A. is determined by its capacity to generate new ideas and above all by the continuous research and development of new processes, products, services, and corporate image. The research team is particularly attentive to market demands and at the same time committed to offering a totally reliable service to the end user.
FPT INDUSTRIE group has always researched and developed new technological solutions representing the state of the art. FPT researchers, in collaboration with the most important universities and international research centers, have produced 16 international patents of absolute value.

Extracal is an innovative measuring system that operates in real-time and measures the position of the working axes independently from the structural strains and/or bending stress of the machine. For the first time, a milling or boring machine is able to certify the machined workpiece measurement with the same accuracy as a 3D measuring machine, saving lots of time and huge costs of machined workpiece movement, particularly if they are of big-sized dimensions.
It allows the introduction of suitable corrections to the machine tool so that to automatically restore the machine axis calibration, without any additional device, and granting the accuracy.

MARES 4.0+ is the new exclusive FPT platform for its own products, for the management of two or more machines, and for the control and integration with the logistic system of the plant. The package includes a hardware platform and innovative software, directly developed by FPT. All MARES 4.0+ development is aligned with Industry 4.0.

It allows, through an intuitíve and complete interface, the
monitoring of the machine state and the use of all software developed by FPT
