Large Part CNC Horizontal Machining Center for Job Shops

The largest X-axis travel in the FEMCO BMC series is 157.4 inches (4,000 mm), available on the BMC-135TNL. Other models offer X-axis travels of 78.74 inches (BMC-110R2), 118.11 inches (BMC-110T3 and BMC-110R3), and 118 inches (BMC-135TN). This range accommodates workpieces of varying lengths, from medium to extremely long weldments and frames.

All FEMCO horizontal boring mills in this range use FANUC CNC control systems. Depending on the model, control options include the FANUC OiMF, FANUC 31i-B, and FANUC AI Contour Control (AICC). These industry-standard controllers provide advanced precision, automation capabilities, and ease of use for experienced machinists and programmers.

Yes. All models in this category are specifically suited for machining complex welded frames and longer weldments. Their heavy-duty construction, large X and Y-axis travels, rigid geared-head spindles, and Full B-Axis Rotary Tables allow for multi-face machining and precision boring, milling, and threading on large fabricated assemblies without repositioning.

Spindle power ranges from 35 HP on the BMC-110R2, BMC-110R3, and BMC-110T3 to 40–50 HP on the BMC-135TN and BMC-135TNL. Maximum spindle speeds range from 2,500 RPM up to 3,000 RPM across the series, with the broader FEMCO BMC series reaching up to 8,000 RPM on select configurations. All use a #50 taper (CT-50) geared-head spindle design.

Yes, all FEMCO horizontal boring mills in this category are equipped with a 60-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC). This enables continuous machining operations with rapid tool changes, significantly reducing cycle times and manual intervention — ideal for job shops running complex, multi-operation parts without stopping the machine.

Every machine purchase from T.R. Wigglesworth Machinery Company includes delivery, professional installation, and user training. Technical support is also available post-installation. These services are provided for customers throughout the USA (all 50 states) and Canada, ensuring machines are properly commissioned and operators are fully trained to maximize productivity from day one.
