AT&F introduced a CNC vertical boring mill, or vertical turning lathe. Coupled with the neighbouring horizontal boring machine, AT&F brings full-service, large-scale machining to their steel fabrication customers.
A 360-degree rotary table with a diameter of more than 16ft and a load capacity of 160 tons, the machine can handle the largest of machining needs. Capabilities include a 30ft swing, more than 8ft of ram travel, as well as Y-axis table movement.
The company’s latest investment in machining equipment will offer its customers the ability to purchase finished weldments from AT&F. Contract machining services can also be provided as needed. The new machine, paired with the existing horizontal boring machine, sets AT&F machining apart from the pack. The horizontal machine stands 15ft tall and has a 100-ton indexing table. Capabilities include 40ft X-axis x 15ft Y-axis x 6ft Z-axis travel, a 7” spindle and the ability to handle cylinders up to 15ft in diameter.
“The new vertical and horizontal boring mills, coupled with some of the world’s largest forming and rolling equipment, and state of the art welding technology including robotic and hybrid laser, allow us to do more for our customers all from one location”, states Michael Ripich, AT&F CEO.
