Fadal VMC-8030B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large 47" x 20" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,140 lbs, making it suitable for substantial production runs and heavy-duty machining operations. The machine is equipped with a CAT #40 BIG-PLUS spindle system, which provides dual contact between the spindle taper and tool holder flange, resulting in increased rigidity and improved surface finish and dimensional accuracy. With a maximum spindle speed of 10,000 RPM and 22.5 HP (30-minute rating), the machine delivers robust cutting capabilities across diverse materials and applications. The automatic tool changer (ATC) dual-arm configuration accommodates 24 tools, enabling efficient production workflows. Travel capacities of 80" (X-axis), 33" (Y-axis), and 32" (Z-axis) with rapid traverse rates up to 787 ipm provide excellent capability for complex part geometries. Maximum feed rates of 590 ipm across all axes support aggressive material removal rates. The machine offers optional support for both index and rotary tables, as well as fourth-axis capability, enabling expanded machining possibilities for specialized applications. Standard three-axis CNC control allows for straightforward programming and operation. This configuration positions the machine as a versatile production solution for job shops and manufacturers requiring high precision, extended work envelope, and reliable performance on mid-to-heavy workpieces.
