FADAL 906-1 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center delivers robust performance for general-purpose CNC applications with a generous 40" x 20" x 20" work envelope. Equipped with a CAT-40 spindle taper spinning at 10,000 RPM and powered by a 20 HP motor, the machine provides excellent rigidity and torque characteristics suitable for both roughing and finishing operations. The 21-position automatic tool changer enables rapid tool selection and minimizes cycle times in production environments. The machine features a substantial 48" x 20" table with T-slot configuration, accommodating workpieces up to 3,970 lbs under typical operating conditions. The three-axis CNC control allows for precise XYZ positioning with rapid traverse capabilities up to 1,000 IPM across all axes, ensuring efficient non-cutting movements. Built on a heavy box-way design with hardened and ground ways, the machine delivers maximum vibration dampening and maintains tight positional tolerances for consistently accurate parts. The compact footprint of 116" L x 87" W x 95" H, combined with a machine weight of 10,100 lbs, makes it suitable for floor installation in job shops and production facilities. The CAT-40 taper system provides versatility across a wide range of cutting tools and is compatible with both imperial and metric tooling. This configuration represents an ideal balance between working envelope capacity, spindle power, and automation features for small to mid-sized manufacturers seeking economical yet capable vertical milling solutions.
