This Union BFT 90 3 AT is a used horizontal boring mill — sometimes referred to as a horizontal borer — offered from the Netherlands and dating to 1980. Boring mills of this type are designed for precision machining of large, heavy workpieces, performing operations such as boring, drilling, milling, and threading on components that would be impractical to handle on a conventional machining centre. Union is a well-established German machine tool manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty boring and milling machinery for industries including aerospace, energy, shipbuilding, and general engineering.
The machine carries serial number 25 742 and was built in 1979, entering service in 1980. It is controlled by a Heidenhain TNC 121 CNC unit and is equipped with three-axis Heidenhain digital readouts covering the X, Y, and Z axes, giving the operator precise positional feedback across all principal movements.
The spindle measures 102 mm in diameter, accepts ISO 50 tooling, and extends to a maximum outreach of 710 mm. Twenty-four spindle speeds are available, ranging from 8 to 1,600 rpm, accommodating a wide variety of cutting tools and materials. Feed rates run from 1 to 3,000 mm/min, with rapids at 3 m/min. The spindle motor is rated at 11 kW and runs on 380 V.
The work table measures 1,400 × 1,250 mm and is rated to carry workpieces weighing up to 3,000 kg. Travel distances are 1,000 mm in the cross direction (X), 1,600 mm longitudinally (Z), and 1,000 mm vertically (Y). The distance from the table surface to the spindle centreline ranges from 0 to 1,000 mm.
Included accessories are tool clamping, guideway protection, a pendant control, and cooling equipment. A universal milling head with a 600 mm gap is available at additional cost as an option. The seller describes the machine as being in good condition, and a video is available on request.
