2 Description of the machine
2.1 Construction
The FF 500 is a solidly constructed and carefully manufactured
upright vertical milling machine. The equipment compiled in a
user-friendly manner and the extraordinary quality of the design
make the milling cutter a reliable partner for an entire series of
activities from the machining sector.
- 10 -
A heavy, rugged machine base ensures excellent stability and ac-
commodates the cross table, traversable in two directions (dia-
gonal (X axis) approx. 300 m, deep (Y axis) 100 mm) by way of
handwheels as well as the sturdy and generously dimensioned
column made of high-strength aluminium continuous casting pro-
10
file. Just like the cross table it is equipped with a dovetail guide
10
which supports the carriage for accommodating the milling head
10
(traverse path vertical (Z axis) approx. 220 mm). The milling head
10
itself consists of the motor, the gearbox and the spindle unit. If
10
required, it can also be turned by 90° on each side and conven-
iently clamped in any position with the toggle screw. Together
11
with the drilling feed, this makes slanted drilling possible, for ex-
11
ample. The tool is held in one of the four supplied collects
11
chucks.
11
In addition, the milling head is equipped with a drill feed, which
11
means that your milling cutter can also be used for drilling work
11
or for countersinking, for example. The processing height is adju-
11
sted by handwheel above the column (all of the handwheels are
11
equipped with adjustable scale rings, by the way).
12
12
The electrical system and the belt drive for power transmission
12
are housed within the gearbox. By simply shifting a Poly-V belt it
12
is possible to adapt the spindle speeds to different milling sizes
12
and material-specific cutting speeds (six selectable speeds from
13
180 - 2,500/min). The master device switch and the changeover
13
switch for the spindle direction of rotation are located at the front
of the milling head.
13
13
The high-precision dovetail guides are adjustable for all axes to
13
eliminate possible play due to wear. You will find a dimensioned
13
sketch of the machine dimensions and the slot cross-sections
13
(Fig. 2 and 3) on the graphics fold-out pages of these instructions.

A comprehensive range of accessories is available in our assortment.
