Barer Engineering BM-170 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 72.000" (L) x 30.000" (W) table, capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,300 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. The vertical spindle is equipped with a #40 taper and delivers a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM, powered by an 8.00 HP motor (30-minute rating), ensuring reliable performance for a wide range of materials. Tooling is manual, with a single tool carrier, providing straightforward operation for basic milling applications. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), each offering precise travel: X-axis 66.900", Y-axis 34.300", and Z-axis 28.000". All axes support a maximum feed rate of 800 IPM and a rapid traverse rate of 800 IPM, enabling efficient material removal and quick positioning. The design emphasizes rigidity and stability, with hardened and ground ways to minimize vibration and maintain accuracy during heavy stock removal. The machine’s construction ensures close tolerances and high repeatability, ideal for precision work. With its substantial table size, high spindle power, and robust axis travel, this vertical machining center is well-suited for demanding industrial applications requiring both versatility and durability.
