2004 CHEVALIER 2033 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2004 Chevalier 2033 is a 3-axis CNC vertical machining center produced by Chevalier Machinery of Taiwan, featuring box-way construction on all axes for high rigidity and excellent vibration damping suited to mold, die, and general production machining. The spindle delivers approximately 7.5 to 10 HP and operates across a gear-driven speed range up to approximately 8,000 RPM through an ISO-40 or CAT-40 taper interface, providing robust torque at low speeds for ferrous material cutting. The work table measures approximately 39.4 x 19.7 inches, with axis travels of approximately 33.5 inches in X, 20.1 inches in Y, and 20.1 inches in Z, accommodating medium-format workpieces and multi-fixture production setups. Control is provided by a Fanuc CNC system appropriate to the production year. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 93 x 81 x 102 inches and the machine weighs approximately 12,125 lbs (5,500 kg). The Chevalier 2033 is a practical, durable general-purpose VMC well-suited for shops machining steel, cast iron, and aluminum at moderate cycle rates. Box-way guideways provide superior surface finish capability compared to linear-way alternatives and are preferred for applications demanding heavy interrupted cutting and high table loads.
