CHEVALIER EM2040L VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center is equipped with a FANUC 0i-MD control system, featuring three linear axes with travel ranges of 40.08 inches (X), 20.80 inches (Y), and 20 inches (Z), providing substantial envelope capacity for mid-sized components. The machine accommodates a work table measuring 47.20 inches in length and 20.11 inches in width, with a motor rated at 14.9 kW delivering spindle speeds up to 10,000 RPM for versatile material removal across various applications. The FANUC 0i-MD controller provides digital servo control for simultaneous multi-axis operation with high precision positioning. Standard features include automatic data backup, rigid tapping capability, and nano-interpolation technology for enhanced surface finish quality. The control supports manual guide operation, single-block execution, and dry-run functionality for program verification. The system offers feedrate overrides ranging from 0-254% and jog overrides up to 655.34%, enabling flexible speed adjustment during machining operations. Advanced capabilities include helical and cylindrical interpolation, high-speed skip functionality, and tool offset compensation with distinction between geometry and wear offsets. The controller features Ethernet connectivity as standard, facilitating DNC operations and data transfer. With nanometer-resolution positioning and stored pitch error compensation, this machine delivers precision suitable for complex part geometry and demanding surface finish requirements, making it well-suited for production and job-shop applications requiring dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
