Famar CNC Technology at IMTS
Doug Schulte, aka the Machine Tool Google reviews two of the most innovative machining solutions for high-volume production of precision parts demonstrated at IMTS. Take a look!
FAMAR PRONTO 6
The compact yet powerful Famar Pronto 6, inverted-vertical spindle turning center with built-in pallet conveyor was demonstrated at IMTS 2024. Because the spindle is inverted, it's also able to load and unload parts as they are onto the pallet conveyor which can be linked to additional machines for a completely automated production system.
Famar turning centers are designed to be seamlessly integrated into a full production cell, making them the ideal solutions for high-volume production applications.
- 15.75" Max Swing Dia.
- 10.25" Max Turning Dia., 13.78" Max Chuck Dia.
- 9.45" Max turning length
- A2-6 Spindle Nose
- 41.6 HP, 5,300 RPM
- 12 Position Live Tool Turrets (CAPTO/HSK), 16.7 HP, 10K RPM
- Coolant System & Chip Conveyor
FAUSTO MARINELLO FM23
The Fausto Marinello FM23 twin-spindle 5-axis horizontal machining center was among the most innovative CNC machines to be demonstrated at IMTS. This compact machining center is engineered for high-volume production applications on highly complex parts with its built-in automatic (trunnion) pallet changer and twin spindles...

- 13" / 19.7" / 15.75" Travels (X,Y,Z)
- 12.59" Distance Between Spindles
- Full 4th and 5th Axes
- 65.7 HP, 14,000 RPM, HSK 63

FAMAR TANDEM 260
Originally scheduled to be demonstrated at IMTS, but now on display at Morris South, the Famar Tandem 260, is a twin inverted-vertical spindle multitasking turning centers with automation already built in. Because the spindle is inverted, it's also able to load and unload parts as they are passed from one spindle to the other to perform multiple machining operations completely unattended.
Famar turning centers are designed to be seamlessly integrated into a full production cell, making them the ideal solutions for high-volume production applications.
