The travelling column type milling machine Sirio represents the entry range in the world of the big FPT boring machines with hydrostatic sliding technology: AREA – M-ARX and SPIRIT.
SIRIO draws from its elder sisters the general lines of the most significant structural characteristics such as: hydrostatic sliding of the axes, balancing systems of vertical and cross movements (model patented by FPT)X axis movement with kinematic mechanism at constant and automatic backlash compensation.
SIRIO carries an elaborated structural philosophy , a choice of high standard level components, an extreme scrupulous assembling with strict tests and checking; no competing machine of this category offers so much.
Used with success in the sectors of medium-heavy mechanical machining of every kind, in the important mould making sector and in the energy field, SIRIO is equipped with the wide range of FPT accessories that allow it to successfully suit different using situations.

"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".
