Fermat Machinery, based in the Czech Republic, has increased the number of Fermat horizontal boring mills being utilized by heavy machinery producers. A WRF 130 CNC DUO Fermat machine was purchased by Belarusian Autoworks, a heavy-duty mining dump trucks producer.
"Two years ago, BelAZ was interested in an unusual floor type boring mill design with ram travel as well as spindle travel," said a company spokesperson. "Growing production, new technological advances within the industry and an increase in customer demand are just a few reasons BelAZ needed to increase production by adding new machinery that could give them a competitive edge within their industry.
"BelAZ placed an order with Fermat because it was the only company that was able to produce a machine of such high standards while still offering value and the competitive edge BelAZ was looking for.
"The WRF 130 CNC, a floor type boring mill, is a 5" diameter spindle model machine within Fermat's WRF series. The WRF machines have a powerful machining capacity that can handle heavy workpieces for the energy, shipping, transportation, oil and gas or rigging industries.
"WRF 130 DUO is a unique machine set-up for Fermat where twin opposing WRF 130 machines are arranged with the work area in between them. WRF 130 DUO has a round CNC rotary table with a diameter of 2,000 mm and clamping plate area. Both machines have X-axis travel of 10,500 mm and Y-axis movement of 2,500 mm. It comes with two automatic milling heads, universal UHA 30 and right angle PHA 37, along with pick-up stations for the heads.
"The most convenient factor for BelAZ company is that both machines can be operated using a single CNC operating panel from Siemens. This unique, sophisticated solution of sharing working areas was developed by Fermat working in unison with Siemens."
