Fadal VMC-6030B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a robust 47" x 20" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,140 lbs, with optional support for index and rotary tables for enhanced versatility. The machine is equipped with a CAT #40 BIG-PLUS spindle system operating at speeds up to 10,000 RPM with a 22.5 HP (30-minute rating), delivering the rigidity and precision advantages of dual-contact spindle technology. The BIG-PLUS system provides simultaneous contact between the spindle taper and flange face, significantly enhancing tool rigidity and reducing deflection for superior surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The dual-arm automatic tool changer accommodates 24 tools with rapid chip-time capability, enabling efficient production workflows. The machine provides three standard axes (X, Y, Z) with an optional fourth axis, offering 60" of X-travel, 30" of Y-travel, and 30" of Z-travel (35" optional), all with maximum feed rates and rapid traverses of 590 and 787 ipm respectively. This combination of specifications makes the machine well-suited for complex multi-axis machining operations requiring high precision and repeatability. The BIG-PLUS spindle technology ensures improved ATC repeatability within 1 micron, elimination of Z-axial movement at high speeds, and extended tool life through prevention of fretting corrosion, making this center ideal for demanding applications in aerospace, automotive, and precision component manufacturing.
