Enjoy this interview with Matt Sprogna, Director of Operations at FIBA Industries in Littleton, MA to learn how they've increased productivity on large storage vessels / tanks with the recent addition of a Soraluce FLP 14000 floor-type milling, boring, multitasking machining center

Here are some highlights of the advanced manufacturing technology demonstrated along the prestigious FRONT ROW of IMTS, by SELECT. The BIG machine line-up included a Soraluce SAD40 traveling column multitasking mill, a Geminis GT5i large-capacity multitasking lathe, an Ibarmia THC12 twin-pallet 5-axis universal multitasking machining centers and a Momentum MVL-15iM-SR vertical turning lathe with milling capabilities and the all-new Super Ram.

The most powerful machine of its kind, the 6th generation IBARMIA Z Series moving column multitasking machining center is now Stronger, Faster and more Efficient for an even bigger ROI.

By combining advanced manufacturing technology with support from the industry's most knowledgeable and trusted distribution channel, we're ready to take on your Biggest, Tallest, Longest, Widest, Heaviest and most complex machining challenges.

These are the smallest end Mills that we can offer. Going down to 0.40mm. The mills have 2 flutes and a very good transport of chips.

GEMINIS Large capacity, heavy-duty horizontal CNC turning solutions that are customizable for simple to complex applications.

In this machine walkaround video, Doug Schulte, aka the Machine Tool Google, goes over the features of a Geminis GM9i Multi-Process Turning Center on the factory floor in Spain, before being shipped to a US based steel mill. Doug shares many of the design features that were developed specifically for the machinist, to provide easy, safe access to oversized parts being machined.

We distribute this technology through our network of industry-leading full-service distributors; Morris, Hartwig, Gosiger, and Arizona CNC.

“The Momentum MVL-16M lathe’s 63-inch chuck, 78-inch max turning diameter, and 63-inch max turning height gives Fabcorp the ability to perform full mill/turn work,” states Oscar Hernandez, Plant Manager at Fabcorp. “We've turned up to 3/8s, radial cuts on tough materials and have no complaints, the machine pushes it with the 75 horsepower main spindle.”
