CHEVALIER QP1620-L VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a Fanuc 0i-MD control system with 3-axis simultaneous control capability, supporting up to 4 axes with optional expansion. The machine offers substantial work envelope dimensions with 20.5 inches of X-axis travel, 15.7 inches of Y-axis travel, and 15 inches of Z-axis travel, accommodating workpieces up to 27.6 inches in length and 12.6 inches in width on its precision table. The spindle delivers up to 10,000 RPM for versatile machining operations ranging from general milling to high-speed finishing. An integrated 20-position automatic tool changer (ATC) enables uninterrupted production cycles with rapid tool selection capabilities. The Fanuc 0i-MD controller incorporates digital servo control with fine acceleration and deceleration functions, backlash compensation for enhanced accuracy, and multiple interpolation modes including linear and circular paths. Manual intervention functions include jog feed, single-block operation, and MDI (Manual Data Input) programming for operator flexibility. The machine weighs 5,000 pounds, indicating robust construction suitable for sustained production environments. Optional rotary 4th-axis capability mirrors the primary axis dimensions (20.5" × 15.7" × 15"), enabling 4-axis simultaneous machining for complex geometries and rotational features. This configuration combines rigid machine construction with advanced CNC automation, making it suitable for precision job shop and production applications involving metal fabrication, prototype development, and component manufacturing across diverse industries.
