2010 BRIDGEPORT VMC3016 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2010 Bridgeport VMC3016 is a 3-axis vertical machining center produced by Hardinge Inc. under the Bridgeport brand, featuring a 30-inch X-axis travel and 16-inch Y-axis travel in a compact production VMC package. The machine features a 36-inch by 14-inch worktable with a 22-tool automatic tool changer and a BT 40 spindle taper. The spindle motor delivers 12 HP peak at a maximum speed of 7,500 RPM. X-axis travel is 30 inches, Y-axis travel is 16 inches, and Z-axis travel is 20 inches. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 21i-M CNC control, providing high-accuracy G-code programming with rigid tapping and comprehensive tool management. Rapid traverse rates reach 826 IPM on X and Y axes and 710 IPM on the Z axis. Machine construction features a precision cast-iron base and column with linear guideways and ballscrew drives on all three axes, providing the rigidity needed for reliable production machining in steel and aluminum. The table is rated at 2,000 lbs maximum load. Standard equipment includes flood coolant, automatic lubrication, and a 22-tool carousel. The VMC3016 provides a larger X-axis travel than the VMC2216 while retaining the same compact Y-axis footprint, making it well suited for longer workpieces in a space-constrained shop environment. Machine weight is consistent with other Bridgeport compact VMC platforms at approximately 8,500 to 9,000 lbs. The 2010 VMC3016 is supported by Fanuc's global service network.
