FZU42
Precision and you
Powerful Ambitious. Precise.
The FZU42 CNC portal milling machine is suitable for simultaneous 5-axis machining of a wide range of materials such as aluminum, steel and titanium. It does not require a fixed machine foundation and can be flexibly installed on solid industrial floors. Its reinforced base plate, which can withstand a maximum weight of up to 15 tons, and the eight support elements reduce vibrations during the milling process – the basic prerequisite for maximum accuracy and optimum surface quality of the workpieces.
The side walls filled with special concrete, the encapsulated working area, the fixed machine table and the thermosymmetrically center-guiding portal, make this milling solution a real power package. The combination of high stability and rigidity, constant moving masses and dynamic drive meet the industry-specific requirements of mold and tool manufacturers in particular.

Frequently Asked Questions FZU42 Portal Milling Machine
What materials is the FZU42 portal milling machine suitable for?
The FZU42 CNC portal milling machine is designed for simultaneous 5-axis machining of a wide variety of materials. These include aluminum, steel, and titanium, which are used in many industrial applications. Thanks to its robust construction and high rigidity, the machine is particularly well-suited for demanding machining processes where precise surfaces and complex geometries are required.
What working ranges does the FZU42 gantry milling machine offer?
The FZU42 covers large machining areas and is therefore suitable for large components. Typical working ranges are:
- X-axis: 2,500 – 6,000 mm
- Y-axis: 3,000 – 4,000 mm
- Z-axis: 1,250 – 1,500 mm
These dimensions allow even large-volume workpieces to be machined efficiently.
Does the FZU42 require a special machine foundation?
One advantage of the FZU42 is that it does not require a permanent machine foundation. The machine can be installed directly on a solid industrial floor. A reinforced base plate and several mounting elements ensure that vibrations are reduced and the machine remains stable. This significantly reduces installation effort and infrastructure costs.
How does the FZU42 achieve high machining accuracy?
Several design features ensure the machine’s precision:
- thermosymmetrical gantry
- vibration-damping side walls made of special concrete
- stable base plate
- enclosed work area
This combination reduces thermal influences and mechanical vibrations, thereby enabling high dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the workpieces.
