About this machine

This MTE FBF-S 6000 is a used milling machine — sometimes referred to as a machining centre — built in 2013 and currently located in Belgium. Milling machines are core metalworking tools used to remove material from a workpiece through rotary cutting, producing flat surfaces, slots, contours, and complex three-dimensional profiles across industries such as aerospace, automotive, toolmaking, and general engineering. MTE is a Spanish manufacturer recognised for producing large-format, high-rigidity milling and boring machines designed for demanding industrial applications.

This machine is configured for four-axis simultaneous operation, meaning the control system can coordinate movement across four axes at the same time, enabling the machining of complex geometries without manual repositioning. The fourth axis is mounted on the table and can be oriented in both horizontal and vertical positions, giving the machine considerable versatility in workpiece presentation. The Y-axis cross travel is 1,200 mm and the Z-axis height travel is 1,500 mm, indicating a substantial working envelope suited to large or tall components.

Spindle power is rated at 36 kW, with a speed range running from 40 to 3,000 rpm. The spindle accepts ISO 50 tooling, a heavy-duty taper standard commonly found on larger milling machines and associated with high torque, rigidity, and the ability to carry substantial tooling loads. High-pressure through-spindle cooling is fitted, operating at 20 bar, which delivers coolant directly to the cutting edge via the tool itself — a significant advantage when machining deep cavities, small-diameter holes, or difficult-to-machine materials, as it improves chip evacuation and tool life.

The automatic toolchanger holds 40 positions, reducing manual intervention during complex multi-operation work. A chip conveyor is installed to manage swarf removal continuously during machining. The machine also features a central lubrication system, which automatically distributes lubricant to the relevant bearing and guiding surfaces, reducing wear and maintenance demands. The control system is a Heidenhain unit, a widely respected make in precision machine tool control, known for its conversational and ISO programming capabilities and high positional accuracy.
