BRIDGEPORT VMC-3020 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a robust 30" x 20" x 20" travel envelope with a 36" x 18" work table capable of supporting 2,000 lbs, supported by five tee slots for secure workpiece mounting. The machine is equipped with a CAT 40 spindle taper, providing industry-standard tool compatibility and quick-change capability at 4.8 seconds. The spindle offers dual-speed operation: a low range with 6,000 RPM constant or 7,500 RPM for 30-minute intervals, and a high range with 8,000 RPM constant or 10,000 RPM for extended periods, delivering consistent performance across various machining applications. Rapid traverse rates reach 826 IPM on X and Y axes and 710 IPM on the Z axis, maximizing productivity and reducing non-cutting cycle time. The machine is powered by a 12 HP main motor operating on 230 volts, three-phase, 38 amps at full load, ensuring reliable operation for production environments. The rigid machine structure measures 103" length x 94" width x 96" height and weighs approximately 8,500 lbs, providing excellent stability and vibration dampening for precision machining. A separate coolant system (48" L x 18" W x 11" H) maintains optimal cutting fluid delivery. This configuration balances versatility with strength, making it suitable for a broad range of machining operations on metals and plastics, from prototype development to production runs requiring consistent accuracy and repeatability.
