Feeler FV-7240 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large table measuring 236" x 118" capable of supporting workpieces up to 52,000 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. It operates with a vertical spindle having a #50 taper as standard and an optional #40 taper, delivering up to 6,000 RPM standard spindle speed and an optional high-speed spindle reaching 15,000 RPM. The spindle is powered by a 35 HP motor (30 HP optional), providing robust cutting performance. The automatic tool changer (ATC) supports 32 tools as standard, with an optional expansion up to 120 tools, enabling extensive tool capacity for versatile machining processes. Tool change time is optimized at 8 seconds for efficient production. The machine operates across 3 axes (X, Y, Z) with travel distances of 284", 158", and 35.4" respectively, with an optional extended Z-axis travel of 47.24". Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are both 197 ipm and 472 ipm respectively, ensuring fast and precise positioning. This configuration supports high rigidity and load capacity, suitable for large-scale industrial applications such as mold-making and heavy component machining. The large table and heavy workpiece capacity combined with high spindle power and flexible tooling options enable efficient high-precision milling, drilling, tapping, and boring operations on large and heavy workpieces. The combination of long travel distances and high-speed spindle options allows for both roughing and finishing tasks within the same platform.
