This Soraluce SL 8000 is a used milling machine — sometimes referred to as a machining centre in wider industrial usage — manufactured in 2002 and currently located in Spain. Milling machines of this type are used to remove material from a workpiece through rotary cutting, enabling the production of complex flat, contoured, and profiled surfaces across a wide range of metals and engineering materials. Soraluce is a well-established Spanish machine tool builder with a long heritage in heavy-duty milling and boring equipment, serving sectors such as aerospace, energy, rail, and general engineering.
This machine is a travelling-column configuration equipped with a large working table measuring 8,000 × 800 mm, capable of supporting a maximum load of 20 tonnes. The axis travels are substantial: 6,500 mm in X, 1,000 mm in Y, and 1,600 mm in Z, making it well suited to the machining of long or heavy structural components. The automatic milling head offers angular indexing in increments of 2.5° × 2.5°, providing versatile positioning for multi-face work, and accepts tooling via an ISO 50 taper.
The spindle speed range runs from 20 to 3,000 rpm, covering both heavy roughing at low speeds and finer finishing passes at the upper end. Working feeds in X, Y, and Z are variable from 2 to 12,000 mm/min, while rapid traverse reaches 15,000 mm/min across all three axes, supporting efficient positioning between cuts.
Control is handled by a Heidenhain iTNC 530, a well-regarded conversational and DIN/ISO CNC unit commonly found on high-specification milling and boring machines. An electronic handwheel is included for manual override and setup work. The automatic tool changer accommodates a magazine of 40 tools, reducing downtime between operations. Internal through-spindle coolant is supplied at 7 bar, and the electrical cabinet is fitted with its own cooling system.
The machine is noted to be in the process of retrofitting at the time of listing. Additional equipment included comprises two front extension tables, two right-angle heads of 2-metre height, and an assortment of cones and tool holders.
