2021 CINCINNATI FTV8403700 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2021 Cincinnati FTV8403700 is a 3-axis CNC floor-type traveling-column vertical machining center manufactured by Cincinnati (MAG Cincinnati), a large-format production machine designed for continuous high-throughput machining of long aerospace, automotive, and industrial structural components. The 2021 date on this unit most likely reflects a remanufacture or rebuild, as the FTV840-3700 series was originally produced in the 2002 to 2010 timeframe under Cincinnati Lamb and MAG Cincinnati. The CAT-40 spindle delivers 25 HP and reaches a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM, with the traveling column traversing over a fixed table to eliminate the inertia limitations of large moving workpieces. The work table measures 165 x 31.5 inches (4,191 x 800 mm) with approximately 6,000 lb capacity, and axis travels extend 145 inches (3,683 mm) in X, 31.5 inches in Y, and 32 inches in Z. Rapid traverse reaches 1,575 IPM. A 50-tool carousel ATC supports long unattended production runs. Control is provided by the Fanuc 18i-MB CNC system on most units. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 282 x 138 x 147 inches and the machine weighs approximately 48,000 lbs, requiring specialized rigging and a reinforced foundation. The FTV8403700 is suited for production of aircraft fuselage sections, large automotive body dies, and long structural components requiring extended X-axis travel in a VMC format.
