Atrump K3VLC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **table size of 50" length by 10" width**, supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 440 lbs, providing a sturdy work surface for various machining tasks. It includes a **single vertical spindle with an R8 taper**, optimized optionally to #30 taper, capable of reaching a maximum speed of 4,200 RPM powered by a 3.0 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, ensuring adequate cutting power for medium-duty operations. The tooling system is manual with a single tool carrier and no automatic tool change time, suitable for straightforward milling jobs needing manual tool swaps. The machine operates on **2 axes (X and Y) with optional 3rd axis capability**, with respective travels of 31.5" in X and 15" in Y. Both axes feature a maximum feed rate of 120 in/min and a rapid traverse rate of 160 in/min, enabling precise and efficient material removal. The spindle’s R8 taper is a standard 3.5" per foot taper (~16.26° angle), common in machining centers for secure and precise tooling holding using a drawbar mechanism. This configuration offers rigidity and vibration reduction during machining, enhancing accuracy. Overall, this vertical mill is apt for applications requiring a compact footprint combined with a versatile work envelope, suitable for small to medium workpieces with manual tool handling, making it ideal for prototyping, maintenance, and light production tasks.
