In the realm of large-scale manufacturing—especially when handling heavy workpieces—efficiency and precision often exist in tension. Traditional rough milling processes struggle with vibration-induced inaccuracies, thermal drift, and suboptimal chip removal rates. But modern CNC machining centers like the FH1890L are breaking these constraints through intelligent design, dynamic control systems, and material-specific optimization strategies.
Heavy-duty rough milling on components weighing over 500 kg typically suffers from three critical issues:
These pain points aren’t just theoretical—they’re what keep process engineers awake at night and production managers pushing deadlines.
Let’s break down how this high-cutting-rate vertical machining center tackles each challenge:
With a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 RPM and torque output of 380 Nm, the FH1890L supports aggressive yet stable cutting parameters. For example:
“Since installing the FH1890L, our roughing cycle time dropped from 45 mins to 28 mins on steel molds—without sacrificing surface finish.”

The machine integrates adaptive feed control algorithms that adjust path velocity based on real-time load sensing. This reduces peak forces by up to 25%, allowing higher feeds without compromising tool life or surface quality.
A closed-loop coolant system combined with oil-cooled motor bearings ensures thermal expansion stays below 0.05 mm even after 8 hours of non-stop operation—an industry-leading performance metric.
When selecting a machining center for heavy workpiece roughing, focus on these five criteria:
If your current setup doesn’t meet these benchmarks, it's likely holding back both throughput and consistency.
