Bridgeport GX 300 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a 23.6" x 15.75" worktable with a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 550 lbs. It supports three axes of travel: X-axis 11.8", Y-axis 15.75", and Z-axis 16.93" (optional 13.0"), all with maximum feed rates of 472 inches/min and rapid traverse rates up to 1,181 ipm. The spindle is vertically oriented with a #40 taper, delivering up to 7,083 RPM as standard, with an optional increase to 10,000 RPM, powered by a 20 HP motor rated for 30 minutes. Tooling is managed by a 20-tool carousel automatic tool changer with a tool change time of 2.5 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 4.5 seconds, allowing for efficient tool transitions. Optional features include pallet changers and support for rotary tables, enhancing flexibility and productivity. The machine is ideal for precision machining tasks that require moderate to large workpiece sizes with rapid movement and effective tool management, making it suitable for various metalworking and manufacturing operations where speed and precision are critical. Its compact table size combined with high spindle power and rapid traverses supports efficient milling, drilling, and cutting processes in vertical orientation.
