FIVES GIDDINGS & LEWIS V 1250 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC vertical machining center features a single main spindle capable of a maximum turning diameter of 65.000 inches and a maximum turning length of 35.400 inches, with an optional extended Z-axis travel of 55.100 inches. The spindle accommodates a large chuck diameter of 49.200 inches and operates at speeds up to 400 RPM, powered by a 60 HP motor for robust cutting performance. The machine supports up to 12 tools with one simultaneous cutting tool, operating across 2 linear axes — X and Z. The X-axis travel extends 50.200 inches, controlling radial cuts, while the Z-axis travel manages longitudinal movement. The machine achieves a fast maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 472 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and quick positioning. Built for high precision and versatility, this vertical machining center is suited for machining large workpieces requiring substantial swing and length capacity, providing a reliable platform for complex turning operations. Its configuration optimally balances power, size, and tooling capacity to meet varied production demands.
