Fadal VMC-4020B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 47.000" x 20.000" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,500 lbs, with optional index and rotary table support for enhanced versatility. The spindle utilizes a CAT #40 BIG PLUS dual-contact taper, delivering superior rigidity and precision by ensuring simultaneous contact between the tool holder taper and spindle face. This design minimizes deflection, improves surface finish, and extends tool life, while also eliminating Z-axis movement at high speeds and enhancing ATC repeatability. The spindle achieves a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM and is rated for 15.0 HP (30-minute duty), making it suitable for demanding high-speed and high-accuracy applications. Tooling is managed by a dual-arm automatic tool changer (ATC) with a 24-tool capacity, enabling rapid and reliable tool changes. The machine offers three standard axes (X, Y, Z) with optional fourth-axis capability, providing flexibility for complex machining operations. Axis travels are 40.000" (X), 20.000" (Y), and 26.000" (Z) (optional 30.000"), with maximum feed rates of 590 ipm and rapid traverse speeds of 944 ipm across all axes. The combination of BIG PLUS spindle technology, high table capacity, and advanced tool management ensures exceptional performance, accuracy, and productivity for a wide range of precision machining tasks.
