Soraluce 5-Axis Fork-Type Head: A Leap Forward in Machining

Sep 16, 2025

At the forefront of Soraluce’s EMO exhibit is the world premiere of its latest innovation in 5-axis machining: the all-new Fork-type Head, a next-generation solution designed to set new standards in flexibility, precision, and stability.

New 5-axis Fork-Type Head for Soraluce High-Rail Gantry Machining CentersEngineered for exceptional flexibility and outstanding accuracy on complex geometries, this head integrates seamlessly with Soraluce’s recently released Dynamic Line of High-Rail Gantry Machines.  Developed to meet the rigorous demands of aerospace and mold & die sectors, the Fork-type Head enables precise, stable, and highly efficient machining of intricate contours and hard-to-reach surfaces.

The Fork-type Head features a true 5-axis configuration with direct-drive torque motors, enabling smooth, backlash-free movement and high responsiveness. A fully water-cooled design ensures maximum thermal stability, while high-precision optical encoders offer reliable angular position feedback, ensuring consistent accuracy even during prolonged, high-speed operations. With power output up to 134 hp (100 kW) and spindle speeds up to 30,000 rpm, the head is built for both heavy-duty and high-speed machining. Optional high-frequency electrospindles are available, allowing customization for specific materials and cutting conditions.

Designed for superior mechanical performance and full thermal stability, the new fork-type head expands operational versatility, enabling manufacturers to tackle increasingly intricate parts and demanding materials with complete confidence.
