Barer Engineering BM-158 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large worktable measuring 73" long by 24" wide, capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,300 lbs, suitable for heavy-duty machining applications. It employs a single vertical spindle with a #40 taper, delivering up to 6,000 RPM and an 8 HP motor rated for 30-minute operation, providing robust cutting power for varied materials. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 59", 34", and 28" respectively, each axis capable of both feed and rapid traverse rates of 800 IPM, allowing for efficient and precise machining movements. Tooling is manual with a single tool capacity, suitable for straightforward setups and operation. The spindle direction is vertical, ideal for standard milling and drilling tasks. Its design emphasizes stability and heavy load capacity, accommodating large and heavy parts with precise movement over ample travel distances. This machine is tailored for shops requiring a reliable, manually-operated vertical mill with substantial workpiece capacity and moderately high spindle speed for diverse machining tasks.
