Portal - Gantry milling machines

24 Machines

Portal milling machines are large-scale machines specifically designed for machining exceptionally large components that require structural rigidity and extensive working space. At Makinate, you can find a carefully selected... range of high-quality used portal milling machines from specialized manufacturers such as Parpas, FPT, Jobs, Waldrich Siegen, Rambaudi, Multinorma, and other internationally recognized brands in the heavy machinery sector.

Structural characteristics of portal milling machines

Portal milling machines stand out for their unique structural design that occupies significant floor space but provides the ideal solution for machining large components. The main feature is the portal structure that spans the worktable: for large workpieces, they are clamped on a fixed worktable while all required machining movements are handled by the tool (X and Z axis travels) and the portal itself, which moves along the Y axis. This configuration ensures exceptional stability during all machining operations.

Kinematics and movement axes

In portal milling machines, movement distribution is optimized to guarantee maximum stability and precision. Additional movements can be applied to the milling head if it includes B and C axes, allowing machining of highly complex geometries. This multi-axis setup enables sophisticated machining of large components with high operational flexibility.

Industrial application sectors

Portal milling machines are widely used in industries where the size of components poses significant challenges:

Aerospace for large structural components
Rail industry for frames and supporting structures
Automotive for large molds and production equipment
Oil industry for large plant and machinery components
Heavy metalworking for complex structural fabrication

Technical and performance considerations

Due to their very large size and mass, portal milling machines may have some limitations in dynamics and precision compared to smaller machines. However, these are compensated by their unique ability to machine components that other machine types cannot handle. Specialized manufacturers have developed advanced technical solutions to minimize these effects and ensure adequate performance for demanding production needs.Advanced models of portal milling machines may include numerous options to significantly expand operational capabilities. Common features include automatic rotary tables for multi-face machining, automatic tool changers to reduce setup times, and automatic milling head changers for switching between different operations within the same cycle. Spindles are available in various configurations with ISO 50 or HSK mounts, speeds up to 18,000 rpm in high-performance models, and power ranging from 18 kW to 100 kW for the largest machines.

Why choose a used portal milling machine from Makinate

Purchasing a used portal milling machine is a strategic opportunity for companies needing to machine large components while controlling initial investment. Each machine in our catalog comes with a complete technical sheet detailing axis travels, table dimensions and capacity, spindle specifications, installed CNC, and optional equipment. Used portal milling machines allow access to industrial-level technology at significantly lower costs than new machines while maintaining high quality and performance standards.
