Feeler VMP-580 APC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a **CAT 40 spindle taper** with a robust 15 HP spindle motor capable of reaching speeds up to **10,000 RPM**, ideal for precision milling and heavy-duty cutting applications. The machine offers a generous working envelope with travel of **23 inches (X-axis), 16 inches (Y-axis), and 20 inches (Z-axis)**, supported by a **25.6 x 15.7-inch table** that can bear a maximum load of **660 lbs**, ensuring versatility in handling a wide range of workpieces. A **24-tool magazine** facilitates extended, uninterrupted machining cycles, with a rapid tool change time of **2.2 seconds** to minimize downtime. Equipped with **Fanuc 0i-MD control**, the system enables precise machining and integrates advanced features including **Rigid Tapping**, and a **Programmable Coolant Nozzle** to optimize cutting conditions. The machine supports high feed rates, with rapid traverses of **1,417 in/min (X and Y axes)** and **1,181 in/min (Z axis)**, and cutting feed rates from **0.04 to 787 in/min** for flexible machining speeds. Additional functionalities include an **Automatic Pallet Changer (APC) with 2 pallets** for efficient part loading, a **flood and through-spindle coolant system** for superior chip evacuation and tool life, plus a **standard side-discharge chip conveyor**. An onboard **work light** improves visibility of the workspace, while a **Manual Pulse Generator (MPG)** allows manual incremental positioning for fine control. The machine’s footprint measures **106 x 86 x 104 inches**, and it weighs **8,800 lbs**, drawing power from a **220V, 3-phase supply** and requires **80 PSI air** for pneumatic functions.
