BRIDGEPORT V480 APC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features robust X, Y, and Z-axis travel dimensions of 18.9, 15.7, and 16.9 inches respectively, providing substantial working envelope for diverse manufacturing applications. The machine delivers 7.4 horsepower with a spindle capable of reaching 10,000 RPM, enabling efficient high-speed machining of various materials. The 20-position automatic tool changer (ATC) minimizes tool change time and enhances production throughput by allowing rapid tool selection without manual intervention. Equipped with a #40 BIG-PLUS taper, the spindle accommodates a wide range of cutting tools and toolholders for versatile machining operations. The work table measures 23.6 inches in length and 15.7 inches in width, providing adequate surface area for workpiece clamping and fixture mounting. The machine is controlled by a FANUC 0i-MF CNC control system, which offers advanced features including multi-axis simultaneous control, AI Contouring Control for high-speed precision machining, and Smart Tolerance Control for optimized surface finish. The control supports up to 12 servo axes, 4 spindles, and multiple independent PMC machine ladders, delivering exceptional flexibility for complex part programming and execution. Overall machine dimensions of 66.0 x 107.0 x 110.1 inches make it suitable for modern shop environments while maintaining accessibility for maintenance and operation. This configuration represents an ideal platform for precision production work, prototyping, and specialized manufacturing requiring high spindle speeds and rapid tool changes.
