FANUC T-21iF VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The FANUC T-21iF is a compact vertical machining center equipped with a FANUC 31i-A5 CNC control system, designed for high-speed, high-precision machining operations. The machine features a 25.6" x 15.7" table with a 440-pound capacity and provides X/Y/Z travels of 19.7", 15.7", and 13" respectively. The spindle utilizes a BT-30 big plus taper with speed capabilities ranging from 100 to 10,000 RPM, delivering 7.3 HP for 10-minute peak operation and 5 HP continuous rating. With rapid traverse rates reaching 2,125 IPM and maximum cutting feed rates up to 1,181 IPM, this machine delivers efficient material removal. The bi-directional high-speed tool turret accommodates 21 tools with exceptionally fast tool change times of 0.9 to 1.1 seconds, supporting tools up to 9.8" in length and 6.6 pounds in weight. The spindle-to-table distance ranges from 5.9" to 18.9", expandable to 23.15" with a riser plate, providing flexibility for various workpiece heights. The machine weighs approximately 4,878 pounds with optional fourth-axis capability. The FANUC 31i-A5 control offers advanced multi-axis programming capabilities, supporting up to 5 simultaneous controlled axes with precision down to 0.001 degrees on rotary axes, making this machine suitable for complex multi-sided machining, drilling, and tapping operations in production environments.
