2019 FADAL VMC2516R VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2019 Fadal VMC2516R is a 3-axis vertical machining center offering 25 inches of X-axis travel, 16 inches of Y-axis travel, and 20 inches of Z-axis travel on Fadal Engineering's updated mid-size VMC platform. The R designation indicates a revised configuration relative to the standard VMC2516, incorporating updated structural and control elements. Built at Fadal's Chatsworth, California facility, the VMC2516R features a CAT40 taper spindle with 15 HP of continuous power and a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM. The work table measures 30 by 15 inches with a robust box-way construction delivering the rigidity and vibration damping characteristic of Fadal's VMC family. Rapid traverse rates support efficient positioning across the machine's work envelope. Machine control is the Fadal CNC 88HS Plus, providing conversational and ISO G-code programming with broad compatibility and parts availability throughout the North American market. The 21-tool automatic tool changer enables extended unattended production runs. Machine weight is approximately 8,800 lbs. The VMC2516R is suited to shops requiring a work envelope slightly larger than the VMC2216 offers, while maintaining the compact footprint and the high spindle speed of Fadal's 10,000 RPM spindle package.
