2007 BRIDGEPORT VMC760XP 3 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2007 Bridgeport VMC760XP 3 is a 3-axis vertical machining center produced by Hardinge Inc. under the Bridgeport brand, continuing the XP3 (eXtended Performance, Production 3-axis) configuration of the 760mm VMC platform with specifications unchanged from the 2006 production year. The machine features a 35-inch by 23.6-inch worktable with a 30-tool automatic tool changer and a BT 40 spindle taper. The spindle motor delivers 25 HP (18.5 kW) at a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM. X-axis travel is 30 inches, Y-axis travel is 24 inches, and Z-axis travel is 24 inches. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 18i-MB CNC control (North American standard), providing high-speed contouring, Look Ahead processing, and rigid tapping. Rapid traverse rates reach 1,692 IPM on X/Y and 1,417 IPM on Z. Machine weight is approximately 14,500 lbs. Standard equipment includes flood coolant, automatic lubrication, coolant-through-spindle, and chip conveyor. The 2007 Bridgeport VMC760XP 3 is part of the Hardinge-era XP3 production run, which offered buyers the compact footprint of the 760mm X-travel with the extended Y and Z axes of the XP3 column assembly — a configuration particularly well suited for deep-cavity mold machining and complex aerospace components. The Fanuc 18i-MB control is widely supported globally with readily available service technicians, parts, and documentation.
