CHEVALIER MACHINERY, INC. EM1620L VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a robust 3-axis configuration with a table size of 27.600 inches in length and 12.600 inches in width, supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 550 lbs. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a #40 Big Plus taper, capable of reaching up to 10,000 RPM and delivering 7.5 HP at a 30-minute rating, ensuring high performance for demanding milling operations. Tooling is managed by a 25-station automatic tool changer (ATC), providing rapid tool change times of 3 seconds and chip-to-chip times of 5 seconds, significantly reducing non-cutting time and enhancing productivity. The machine does not include an index or rotary table, focusing on standard 3-axis machining tasks. Axis travels are 20.500 inches on the X-axis, 14.500 inches on the Y-axis, and 15.000 inches on the Z-axis, accommodating a wide range of part sizes. All axes achieve a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 1,889 inches per minute, enabling fast and efficient material removal. The absence of a pallet changer maintains a streamlined setup for typical job shop environments. This machining center is ideal for precision milling applications requiring high spindle speeds, quick tool changes, and reliable axis performance, making it suitable for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making where accuracy and efficiency are paramount.
