CHEVALIER VMC-4020 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust work envelope with a table size of 40" x 20" (1016 x 508 mm), providing ample space for a wide range of machining tasks. The machine offers generous travel distances: X-axis 39.96" (1015 mm), Y-axis 19.92" (506 mm), and Z-axis 19.92" (506 mm), enabling precise and versatile three-axis movement for complex part production. Powered by a 20 HP (14.9 kW) spindle, it delivers high torque and cutting performance suitable for demanding materials and applications. The spindle operates at speeds up to 10,000 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal and fine surface finishes. Equipped with a 24-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), the machine streamlines production by minimizing downtime during tool changes. The spindle taper is BT40, a standard for high-precision and heavy-duty machining, compatible with a broad range of tooling. The table width is 17.7" (450 mm) and the table length is 47.2" (1200 mm), supporting substantial workpiece sizes and loads. This configuration is ideal for industries requiring high accuracy, repeatability, and productivity, such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making. The machine’s design emphasizes rigidity, precision, and ease of operation, making it suitable for both prototyping and high-volume manufacturing environments.
