C.R. Onsrud Inc. F480G - 5-AXIS WIDE PRO SERIES VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The C.R. Onsrud F480G is a 5-axis wide Pro Series vertical machining center engineered for large-format panel and composite processing. Featuring an expansive 480" x 61" table, this moving-gantry platform delivers substantial cutting capacity while maintaining floor-space efficiency through its innovative design architecture. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle featuring HSK 63F tooling interface and reaches 24,000 RPM maximum, providing 15 HP (30-minute rating) for sustained cutting operations. The 12-position automatic tool changer (ATC) enables rapid tool changes to optimize production workflow. With five-axis capability enhanced by a reliable 2-axis articulating head, the F480G accommodates multiple cutting angles on single workpieces, eliminating repositioning requirements. Travel specifications include 492" on the X-axis, 77" on the Y-axis, and 29" standard (with 41" optional) on the Z-axis, with rapid traverse rates reaching 2,800 IPM across all axes and cutting feedrates up to 2,000 IPM. The machine's moving-gantry configuration positions electronics and mechanical drives outside the machining envelope, preventing contamination in wet or dry applications while maximizing structural rigidity and volumetric accuracy. Customizable work-holding solutions, including vacuum pods and optional fixtures, accommodate diverse part sizes and materials on single production runs, making it ideal for cabinet manufacturers, composites processors, and high-volume panel fabricators requiring flexibility without sacrificing precision or throughput.
