Barer Engineering BM-400L VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a compact table size of 30.000" x 11.000", supporting workpieces up to 256 lbs, suitable for medium-duty machining tasks. The machine utilizes a #30 taper vertical spindle capable of up to 10,000 RPM, powered by a 3 HP motor rated for 30-minute continuous operation, providing a balance between speed and torque for accurate material removal. Tooling is handled by a 10-tool armless automatic tool changer (ATC), with a tool change time of 6 seconds, optimizing efficiency for small-batch or prototyping operations. It operates across three axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 16", 12", and 10" respectively, featuring a maximum feed rate of 157 inches per minute and rapid traverse rates of 591 inches per minute on all axes, delivering precise and swift positioning. This setup is ideal for machining processes requiring moderate workspace with high spindle speeds and rapid tool changes, such as in small component manufacturing or mold making. The absence of a U axis implies focus on standard three-axis milling operations without additional rotary or linear auxiliary axes. Suitable for a range of materials, this machine balances workspace size, spindle power, and automation capabilities for versatile vertical milling applications.
