1994 BRIDGEPORT VMC 760-16 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1994 Bridgeport VMC 760-16 is a 3-axis vertical machining center produced by Bridgeport Machines at its UK facility, with specifications consistent with the 1992 and 1993 production of this platform. The machine features a 29.9-inch by 19.3-inch worktable with a 16-tool automatic tool changer and a BT 40 or ISO 40 spindle taper. The spindle motor delivers 10 HP with a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM. X-axis travel is 29.9 inches, Y-axis travel is 19.7 inches, and Z-axis travel is 18.9 inches. The CNC control is a Bridgeport DX-32 or Heidenhain TNC 426, providing ISO G-code and conversational programming with 3D contouring capability. Machine construction features a precision cast-iron base and column with ballscrew drives on all three axes. Standard equipment includes flood coolant, automatic lubrication, and a 16-tool carousel. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 122 inches wide by 100 inches deep by 101 inches tall, with a machine weight of approximately 7,920 lbs. The 1994 VMC 760-16 is mechanically identical to earlier production examples and is equally well supported in the used equipment service network. It remains a capable production machining center for a wide range of materials and part geometries, and is well suited for job shops and production facilities seeking a mid-size VMC with broad tooling and service support.
