2013 FEELER VM40S VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2013 FEELER VM40S is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Fair Friend Group's FEELER brand, designed as a versatile production VMC for general-purpose precision machining of steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials. The VM40S features a BT40 spindle operating at up to 8,000 RPM with approximately 25 HP, delivering a balanced combination of speed and torque suitable for face milling, drilling, boring, and contouring across a broad range of workpiece sizes. The 1,150 x 520 mm worktable provides generous fixturing area, and a 24-tool arm-type ATC supports complex multi-operation programs with rapid tool changes. Axis travels measure 1,000 mm X, 520 mm Y, and 500 mm Z. The Mitsubishi M64S CNC provides comprehensive G-code programming, macro capability, and a well-established operator interface widely familiar in production machining environments. Rapid traverse rates of 36/36/24 m/min on X/Y/Z minimize non-cutting time between operations. Machine weight is approximately 13,680 lbs and overall dimensions are approximately 110 inches long by 86 inches wide by 110 inches tall. The VM40S suits automotive component suppliers, general job shops, and production facilities requiring a medium-sized VMC with solid construction, flexible tooling capacity, and competitive acquisition cost. FEELER's BT40 VMC lineup provides a practical alternative to Japanese and European machines in the same capacity class.
