Waldrich Coburg offers its Taurus 25 and Taurus 30 bridge-type milling machines, which feature cast iron structures and hydrostatic guideways for platform stability for heavy roughing cuts. They are said to provide high-speed, chatter-free finishing for aerospace and mold and die applications. The machines provide five-axis milling with 85/63 hp, 6,000 rpm and torque that is said to power through tough materials. Motorized spindles for finishing speeds of 20,000 rpm supported by feed rates of 1,181 ipm are available. The machines come in two base sizes, 79" × 158" and 98" × 197", and support table loads as heavy as 88,000 lbs.
