CLEVELAND, OHIO – August 27, 2014 – A CNC vertical boring mill, or vertical turning lathe, is the newest testament to AT&F’s commitment, “We Invest In Customer Success.™” Coupled with the neighboring horizontal boring machine, AT&F (www.atfco.com) brings full-service, large-scale machining to their steel fabrication customers.
A 360-degree rotary table with a diameter of more than 16 feet and a load capacity of 160 tons, the machine can handle the largest of machining needs. Capabilities include a 30-foot swing, more than 8 feet of ram travel, as well as Y-axis table movement.
