2002 FADAL EMC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2002 Fadal EMC is a 3-axis vertical machining center built on Fadal Engineering's Enhanced Machining Center platform, based on the VMC3016 or VMC4020 structural frame. The machine is equipped with a CAT40 taper spindle running at 7,500 RPM standard, with 15 HP of continuous power. Axis travels are 30 inches in X, 16 inches in Y, and 20 inches in Z, with a work table measuring 30 by 16 inches. The EMC was positioned as a versatile production VMC for shops requiring a mid-to-large work envelope in a well-supported American-made platform. Built at Fadal's facility in Chatsworth, California, the machine uses box-way construction for high rigidity and damping during heavy cuts. Machine control is the Fadal CNC 88HS, Fadal's proprietary conversational and G-code CNC system widely supported in North American job shops. The ATC accommodates up to 21 tools for complex multi-operation cycles. Machine weight is approximately 18,000 lbs, reflecting the heavy-duty cast-iron construction. The Fadal EMC is a durable, capable machining center well-suited to production milling, drilling, boring, and tapping of steel, cast iron, and aluminum across a broad range of industrial applications.
