2023 FEELER VMP50A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2023 FEELER VMP50A is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Fair Friend Group's FEELER brand, part of the VMP series of linear-guideway VMCs designed for high-speed precision machining. The VMP50A targets production machining of aluminum, non-ferrous alloys, and steel workpieces across automotive, medical, electronics, and general job shop applications. Linear guideways on all three axes enable high rapid traverse rates of 36/36/24 m/min in X/Y/Z, supporting short cycle times in both milling and drilling operations. The BT40 spindle operates at up to 10,000 RPM with 7.5 kW continuous and 11 kW at 30 minutes, providing approximately 20 HP for productive metal removal. The 1,420 x 600 mm worktable with T-slots accommodates workpieces up to 1,500 kg across axis travels of 1,300 mm X, 610 mm Y, and 600 mm Z. A 22 to 24-tool ATC enables versatile multi-operation programs without manual intervention. The FANUC 0i-MF CNC delivers comprehensive G-code, FANUC macro B, and a well-supported operator interface. The VMP50A's combination of large table capacity, linear-guideway speed, and BT40 tooling flexibility suits precision component production, fixture machining, and multi-operation workpieces where productivity and surface quality are the primary requirements. FEELER's competitive pricing relative to Japanese and European VMCs of comparable capacity makes the VMP50A an attractive acquisition for cost-conscious production facilities.
