Schiess Froriep vertical lathes: control, stability, and performance on a large scale

Schiess Froriep vertical lathes are designed for turning operations on massive workpieces such as turbine housings, wind energy components, pressure vessel flanges, and large-diameter rings. Their vertical design provides excellent stability, reducing distortion and ensuring precision, especially when machining very heavy or unbalanced parts. These machines are widely used in sectors like energy, transportation, and heavy industry, where consistent output and dimensional accuracy are essential.

Features of Schiess Froriep vertical lathes

  • Capable of handling extremely large and heavy components with high accuracy

  • Vertical orientation improves part stability and chip evacuation

  • Heavy-duty rotary tables designed for high load capacities and smooth rotation

  • Advanced control systems for multi-axis machining, turning, and facing operations

  • Suitable for high-precision work in power generation, infrastructure, and aerospace manufacturing

Schiess Froriep boring mills: robust machines for deep, accurate metal removal

Schiess Froriep boring mills are built to perform heavy-duty milling and drilling tasks on large, complex parts. Their rigid construction, extended axis travel, and high-torque drives allow for precise machining of long engine blocks, structural frames, machine beds, and molds. These machines are engineered to reduce setup time, maximize throughput, and maintain high repeatability under continuous load.

Advantages of Schiess Froriep boring mills

  • Long travel distances across X, Y, and Z axes for full coverage of large parts

  • High precision and repeatability during multi-shift operation under substantial weight

  • Ideal for both one-off projects and series production in demanding industrial settings

  • Integrated clamping systems streamline part positioning and reduce idle time

  • Proven performance in sectors like shipbuilding, energy, and large-scale mechanical engineering
