Pao Fong NC-series hybrid milling machines
Pao Fong NC milling machines represent the latest generation hybrid technology, which has been developed to combine the immediate controllability of a manual machine with the productivity of CNC-controlled machining. These machines offer an optimal solution for modern machine shop environments that require flexibility in single-piece production as well as accuracy and repeatability in small series.
The machine’s technical performance is based on an integrated NC control system, whose intuitive 15-inch touch screen enables both the running of demanding G-code and rapid graphical conversational programming. The system is designed to minimize setup time and reduce the threshold for automation, while also offering remote control and data transfer features implemented via a network connection.
The mechanical structure is optimized for heavy use and long-term accuracy. A cast iron frame and Turcite-B coated sliding bearings effectively dampen vibration and ensure smooth movement on all axes. A powerful servo motor combined with precision ball screws and servo technology ensures micron-level positioning accuracy as well as sufficient torque for working with even the most challenging materials. The Pao Fong NC series is an investment that optimizes production processes and raises the machine shop’s technological level to meet today’s demanding quality requirements.

CE-approved Work Area Protection
Tooling probes with CE compliance half shields prevent chips and cutting fluid from splashing, while also protecting the user from rotating parts. Adjustable and durable construction ensures optimal work safety without compromising visibility or the flexible usability of the machine in manual and CNC machining.
Manual Control Wheel for Manual Operation
Pao Fong NC series ergonomic control wheels enable precise manual machining feel and quick settings. They combine the sensitivity of traditional machining with modern NC technology, offering the user full control over individual part manufacturing and fine-tuning without the need for programming.
Intelligent 15” touch screen supports 4-axis machining, G-code and transfer of 2D/3D CAM programs via USB or WiFi. Customizable user interface and the combination of automatic and manual modes ensure maximum flexibility and efficient control in all machining processes.
