2012 FEELER HV1000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2012 FEELER HV1000 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Fair Friend Group's FEELER brand, designed as a high-performance production VMC for a broad range of precision metal cutting applications. The HV1000 features a robust box-on-box column and base construction with a CAT40 Big-Plus dual-contact spindle delivering up to 15,000 RPM and 30 HP for aggressive material removal in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys. The 1,143 x 521 mm worktable provides ample fixturing area with T-slots and accommodates workpieces across axis travels of 1,000 mm X, 520 mm Y, and 503 mm Z. A 30-tool arm-type ATC ensures fast, reliable tool changes to support complex, multi-operation workpieces. The FANUC 0i-MF CNC delivers comprehensive G-code programming, FANUC macro B, and an intuitive operator interface with extensive industry support. Machine weight is approximately 16,000 lbs, reflecting the heavy casting construction that contributes to vibration damping and sustained accuracy under heavy cutting loads. The HV1000 is well-suited to Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers, die and mold shops, and general precision machining operations requiring a large-travel VMC combining high spindle power with flexible tooling capability. FEELER's reputation for competitive pricing relative to Japanese and European counterparts makes the HV1000 an economically compelling choice for production machining environments.
