Fadal VMC 3020 HT VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC vertical machining center features overall dimensions of 98" x 77" x 94" and a robust 39.5" x 20" table capable of supporting up to 3,641 lbs, ideal for heavy-duty machining tasks. The machine offers a substantial working envelope with travels of 30" along the X-axis, 20" along the Y-axis, and 20" along the Z-axis, and spindle nose-to-table adjustment ranging from 4" to 24". It is equipped with a powerful 15 HP spindle motor driving a CAT 40 spindle taper at speeds up to 10,000 RPM, facilitating high precision and efficiency in metal cutting operations. The rapid traverse rate is 900 IPM, complemented by cutting feed rates adjustable between 0.01 and 400 IPM, enabling both swift positioning and fine feed control. A 21-station tool changer supports automated tool swaps with a maximum tool weight of 15 lbs and a fast tool change time of 2.2 seconds, minimizing downtime. The machine weighs 10,500 lbs and requires a 230V, 3-phase power supply. Control is provided by the Fadal 88HS CNC system, which includes rigid tapping capability, a high-speed CPU, graphical display, expanded 422K memory, and connectivity options such as an RS-232 port, floppy drive, and a remote jog handle. Integrated coolant system enhances machining stability and tool life. This configuration is suitable for precision manufacturing environments demanding durable construction, flexible tooling, and advanced programmable control.
