Bridgeport GX 250 5F VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust spindle power of 20 hp, capable of reaching 15,000 RPM for high-speed, precision machining. The machine dimensions are 11.8 inches in X-axis, 15.7 inches in Y-axis, and 16 inches in Z-axis travel, providing substantial work envelope for complex part fabrication. Tooling is managed via a 30-position Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), optimizing workflow and reducing setup time. The spindle utilizes the CT 40 BIG PLUS taper interface, ensuring strong rigidity and high repeatability for tool holding stability under heavy cutting conditions. Control is managed through the FANUC 0i-MD CNC system, a widely adopted controller known for precise digital servo control of up to 3 axes simultaneously, supporting functions such as tool compensation, fine acceleration/deceleration, and robust programmability for automated and manual operation. This combination of high spindle power, rapid spindle speed, extensive axis travel, and advanced FANUC CNC control makes the machine suitable for a wide range of high-precision turning, milling, and drilling applications in metalworking and manufacturing. The integration of a 30-tool ATC with CT 40 BIG PLUS taper spindle ensures efficiency in batch production and flexibility in complex multi-tool operations, while the FANUC 0i-MD controller delivers reliable, user-friendly CNC programming with extensive safety and operational features. Overall, this machine balances power, speed, precision, and automation to meet demanding production requirements.
