Expand Machinery VMC-4020 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust work table measuring 64.9 inches long by 13.9 inches wide, with a maximum workpiece capacity of 770 pounds. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a CT-40 taper as standard, with an optional BT-40 taper configuration. The standard spindle reaches 5,000 RPM with a 10 HP 30-minute rated motor, while the optional configuration delivers 6,000 RPM with enhanced performance capabilities. The machine incorporates an automatic tool changer (ATC) capable of holding up to 16 tools, streamlining production efficiency. The three-axis configuration provides X-axis travel of 41.3 inches, Y-axis travel of 18.9 inches, and Z-axis travel of 20.27 inches. All axes deliver a maximum feed rate of 196 inches per minute with rapid traverse speeds reaching 394 inches per minute, enabling efficient material removal and positioning. An optional fourth axis is available for enhanced versatility in complex machining operations. The CT-40 spindle taper, characterized by its 7/24-degree taper angle, provides excellent stability and rigidity for demanding machining applications. The combination of substantial workholding capacity, generous work envelope, and configurable spindle options makes this machine suitable for production work, tool and die applications, and general fabrication requiring precision and repeatability.
