Feeler FV-2218 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large 79" × 67" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 15,000 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty production work. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle available in both ISO #50 (standard) and #40 (optional) tapers, with spindle speeds reaching 6,000 RPM at the standard 35 HP rating, or up to 15,000 RPM with the optional 30 HP configuration. The three-axis design provides exceptional travel capabilities: 85" on the X-axis, 71" on the Y-axis, and either 35.4" or 47.24" (optional) on the Z-axis, with rapid traverse rates of 591 IPM across all three axes, enabling efficient machining of large and complex parts. The automatic tool changer (ATC) accommodates either 32 tools standard or up to 120 tools with the optional configuration, with tool changes occurring in just 8 seconds, minimizing cycle time and maximizing productivity. Maximum feed rates of 197 IPM across all axes support aggressive material removal while maintaining precision. This machine combines high spindle power, substantial work envelope, and rapid tool changing capability, making it ideal for mid-to-large scale manufacturing operations requiring versatility in both drilling and milling applications across ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
