In the field of boring machines, FPT CASTEL-Red undoubtedly represented the reference point on an International scale for the innovation in the last few years both under the design concept and under the structural profile.
Once again these elements made of this machine another extraordinary object of FPT company, having no equals in the market of its category.
CASTEL-Red has been conceived from the beginning according to revolutionary criteria and design. It is characterised by a unique column structure integrating the longitudinal sliding saddle.
Furthermore the headstock slides in the middle of the column and is guided on both parts. This expensive choice, from the manufacturing point of view, conveys first rate outcome.
The result is an extreme stiffness not achievable with other boring machines of traditional concept. This quality practically turns into high roughing capacity and above all accuracy and finishing .
CASTEL Red is completely manufactured in the up-to-date FPT premises near Venice (Italy) by high specialised engineers provided with tooling and checking methods representing the state of the art.
To all this it must be added that the machine is equipped with powerful checking and management softwares developed by FPT in collaboration with the most important CNC manufacturers, one for all Autocal whose description is on the following pages.
FPT experience and the worldwide pre and after sale assistance that its organisation can grant are the key factors to guarantee success to its customers.
Even CASTEL-Red, as all FPT production range, is equipped with many of our original accessories, among them the automatic universal heads, included the extraordinary version of the continuous positioning head 0.001°and the big automatic boring heads; all equipped with automatic accessory change device and, on request, programmed for unloading on side storage.

It must be reminded that FPT employs on its machines the high-tech concept which provides that the heads are intended as autonomous; therefore each of them is equipped with all necessary devices both for movement and control.
Even in these choices FPT is the only one in the worldwide scene of manufacturers.

Double table solutions for pendulum machining or with automatic pallet change are available together with different types of tool changers.
