Bridgeport GX 250 5AX VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This high-performance vertical machining center features a robust 8.260" x 8.260" table with a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 165 lbs, providing reliable support for a wide range of precision machining tasks. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a #40 Big Plus taper, capable of reaching top speeds of 15,000 RPM and delivering 20 HP (30-minute rating) for efficient material removal and fine surface finishes. Tooling is managed by a 30-tool ATC swing arm system, enabling rapid tool changes with a chip-to-chip time of 4.30 seconds and a tool-to-tool time of 2.50 seconds, significantly reducing non-cutting time and boosting productivity. The machine supports 5-axis operation, offering extensive travel ranges: X-axis 11.800", Y-axis 15.700", Z-axis 16.900", and A-axis rotation up to 150°, allowing for complex part geometries and multi-sided machining in a single setup. All axes deliver a maximum feed rate of 787 ipm and rapid traverse speeds of 1,181 ipm, ensuring swift and accurate positioning. The combination of high spindle power, fast tool changing, and generous travel makes this machining center ideal for demanding applications in aerospace, mold and die, and high-precision component manufacturing.
