The FOM Industrie Argo 35 is a used machining center — sometimes referred to as a CNC machining centre — dating from 2002 and currently located in Portugal. Machining centers are multi-axis machine tools designed to perform drilling, milling, and related metal-removal operations under computer numerical control, combining precision movement across several axes with automatic tool changing to complete complex workpieces in a single setup. FOM Industrie is an Italian manufacturer with a long-standing focus on CNC machines built specifically for working aluminum and light-alloy profiles, serving the window, door, and architectural fabrication industries, among others.
According to the seller's notes, this particular machine was designed to carry out drilling and milling operations in aluminum or steel profiles, featuring three controlled axes and pneumatic rotation of the machining head. It is fitted with a Heidenhain iTNC 530 CNC control unit, a widely respected conversational and ISO-compatible control system that supports five-axis operation, with a minimum programmable increment of 0.001 mm.
The machining head is equipped with an HSD electrospindle with an ISO 30 taper, capable of reaching a maximum speed of 18,000 rpm. Axis travels are noted as 1,400 mm in X, 1,600 mm in Y, and 600–700 mm in Z, with the workpiece envelope stated as 1,600 × 1,800 × 60 / 850 mm. Rapid traverse rates are 20 m/min in X, 18 m/min in Y, and 20 m/min in Z, and axis acceleration is quoted at 6 m/s² in X, 5 m/s² in Y, and 4 m/s² in Z. The automatic tool storage holds 20 positions, with a maximum tool diameter of 80 mm and a maximum tool length of 300 mm.
The machine operates on a 230 V three-phase electrical supply and carries a net weight of approximately 12,000 kg. Overall machine dimensions are given as 4,665 × 4,605 × 3,610 mm, and packing dimensions are 5,350 × 4,000 × 3,700 mm. Two units are stated to be available in stock, both in used condition, offered at $12,500.
