2016 CHEVALIER QP2855 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2016 Chevalier QP2855 is a 3-axis CNC vertical machining center from Chevalier Machinery of Taiwan, representing the heavy-duty end of the QP box-way series, designed for high-torque machining of large mold bases, die components, aerospace structural parts, and heavy fixtures. Box-way construction on all axes delivers maximum rigidity and vibration damping for demanding interrupted cutting conditions. The CAT-50 (BT-50) spindle delivers 30 HP through a 2-speed gear-driven headstock and reaches a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM, providing the high torque at low speeds required for productive cutting in steel and cast iron with large diameter tools. The work table measures approximately 88 x 28 inches with a table load capacity of approximately 3,520 lbs, and axis travels extend 55 inches in X, 27.6 inches in Y, and 23.6 inches in Z. Rapid traverse reaches 589 IPM. A 24-tool ATC supports complex multi-step machining programs. Control is provided by the Fanuc 0i-MD as standard, with Siemens 828D and Heidenhain iTNC530 available as options. Overall machine weight is approximately 20,020 to 20,900 lbs. The QP2855 is a preferred platform for shops requiring large-table heavy cutting capability with the economy and availability of a Taiwanese-built machine.
