2005 FADAL VMC4020A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2005 Fadal VMC4020A is a 3-axis vertical machining center representing an updated variant of the VMC4020 platform, incorporating design refinements and an expanded spindle speed option that distinguish it from the base VMC4020. The "A" designation identifies a production revision that was introduced as Fadal refined the VMC4020 design, typically offering a 10,000 RPM spindle option as standard or near-standard equipment in addition to the base 7,500 RPM configuration. Axis travels are 40 inches in X, 20 inches in Y, and 20 inches in Z, with a worktable measuring 40 by 20 inches equipped with standard T-slots for workholding. The spindle accepts CAT40 tooling and operates at a standard maximum speed of 7,500 RPM with the 10,000 RPM option broadly available on this variant; the continuous spindle power rating is 15 HP. The higher-speed spindle option extends the VMC4020A's capability into aluminum and non-ferrous high-speed applications while retaining the platform's proven rigidity for steel and cast iron work. The 2005 VMC4020A is equipped with the Fadal CNC 88HS control, offering conversational and G-code programming, rigid tapping, and compatibility with DNC and CAM post-processors. The automatic tool changer supports unattended multi-operation production cycles. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 100 inches long by 80 inches wide by 90 inches tall, and the machine weighs approximately 18,000 pounds. The VMC4020A is well suited to job shops and production facilities that require the proven reliability of the VMC4020 platform with the expanded spindle speed range of the "A" configuration.
