This Klopp FWS15 is a used vertical milling machine — sometimes referred to as a vertical mill or vertical machining centre — dating from 1988 and currently located in Germany. Vertical milling machines are a cornerstone of precision metalworking, used for cutting, drilling, shaping, and contouring a wide range of metal and other materials. Klopp is a German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for producing robust, precision-engineered milling machines suited to toolmaking, die making, and general machining applications.
This particular machine is configured as a CNC universal console milling machine, equipped with a Heidenhain TNC 155 contouring control system, making it capable of coordinated multi-axis contouring work rather than simple point-to-point positioning.
The axis travels are substantial: 1,170 mm in X, 420 mm in Y, and 420 mm in Z, providing a generous working envelope for a wide variety of workpiece sizes. The worktable measures 1,500 × 400 mm, offering a large clamping surface to accommodate sizeable components or multiple setups. The spindle accepts SK50 tooling, a widely used steep-taper system that supports a broad range of toolholders, and is driven by a 15 kW spindle motor. Spindle speed ranges from 35 to 3,550 rpm, allowing the machine to handle both heavy-duty roughing at low speeds and fine finishing work at higher speeds.
Beyond the vertical spindle head, the machine is fitted with a counter bearing for horizontal milling, extending its versatility for operations that benefit from a horizontal spindle configuration. A cooling device and splash guard are included, supporting wet cutting and chip containment. Various toolholders and complete machine documentation are part of the package.
The seller reports that new parameters and batteries were installed on 20 August 2020, and the machine has been workshop tested and is immediately ready for use. Overall condition is described as good, and the machine can be run under power for inspection.
