Feeler FV-6224 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features an expansive table measuring 236" long by 87" wide, capable of supporting workpieces up to 39,000 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. It operates with a vertical spindle that has a #50 taper, with an optional #40 taper, delivering a top speed of 6,000 RPM standard or 15,000 RPM as an option, powered by a 35 HP motor (30 HP optional) rated for 30-minute duty cycles. The machine is equipped with a 32-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), which can be optionally expanded to hold up to 120 tools, with a tool change time of 8 seconds, enhancing productivity by minimizing downtime. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 244", 95" (extendable to 158"), and 35.4" (extendable to 47.24"), respectively. Each axis supports a maximum feed rate of 197 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds of up to 472 inches per minute, allowing for efficient material removal and repositioning. This configuration is ideal for large-scale and precise machining operations requiring heavy load capacity, extensive travel, and flexible tooling options, such as aerospace, automotive, or heavy equipment manufacturing. The inclusion of a #50 taper spindle and large tool capacity indicates the machine's design for high rigidity, stability, and versatile machining processes in demanding industrial applications.
