FIVES GIDDINGS & LEWIS V 800 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center is engineered for high-precision turning operations, featuring a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 41.300 inches and a maximum turning length of 35.400 inches, accommodating large workpieces. The spindle chuck diameter measures 31.490 inches, providing robust workholding capacity. With a spindle speed of 600 RPM and 50 horsepower, the machine delivers strong performance for demanding machining tasks. The vertical machining center supports up to 12 tools in its turret, allowing for versatile tooling options, though only one tool can cut simultaneously. It operates on a 2-axis configuration (X and Z), with X-axis travel of 32.200 inches and Z-axis travel of 35.400 inches, enabling precise control over radial and longitudinal movements. The maximum feed rate and rapid traverse are both 472 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and quick positioning. The absence of Y-axis travel indicates this model is optimized for standard turning rather than off-center milling operations. Designed for accuracy and repeatability, this vertical machining center is suitable for producing symmetrical, cylindrical components in high-volume or high-precision manufacturing environments.
