CHEVALIER MACHINERY, INC. FVL-1600VTC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a **single main spindle** with a maximum turning diameter and swing capacity of **78.7 inches**, allowing the machining of large-diameter cylindrical parts. The maximum turning length along the spindle axis is **51.6 inches**, with the main spindle capable of handling a chuck diameter up to **63 inches**. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of **123 RPM** and is powered by a robust **60 HP motor**, ensuring sufficient torque for heavy-duty turning applications. The machine utilizes **BT50 tooling** with a capacity for **12 tools**, and supports **one simultaneous cutting tool** operation, suitable for straightforward turning tasks. It is a **3-axis CNC vertical machining center**, providing linear travel in the X axis of **78.7 inches**, Y axis of **1200 inches**, and Z axis of **35.4 inches**, enabling precise control over tool positioning and enhanced machining flexibility including off-center milling and complex contouring. The BT50 tooling standard offers enhanced spindle-tool balance and rigidity for improved machining accuracy at higher speeds. This vertical machining center is optimized for large workpieces requiring extended length and diameter capacities, combined with substantial horsepower and low spindle RPM for heavy material removal. The combination of large swing and chuck size, the powerful spindle, and precise multi-axis control renders this CNC vertical machining center ideal for manufacturing sizable, heavy-duty components with tight tolerances in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery.
