Fortune 4VK-MAN VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Fortune 4VK-MAN Vertical Machining Center is a 3-axis machine designed for vertical milling applications, featuring a manual tool carrier with a single tool capacity. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle operating at up to 4,200 RPM and rated at 3.0 HP for 30 minutes, suitable for moderate cutting tasks. The worktable measures 50 inches in length by 10 inches in width, supporting workpieces up to 1,000 lbs, providing a stable platform for small to medium-sized parts. The machining center offers precise axis travels of 17.5 inches along both the Y and Z axes, facilitating adequate vertical and lateral tool movement. While the X-axis travel is unspecified, the machine maintains three-axis control for comprehensive part machining. Rapid traverse rates and maximum feed speeds are configured to ensure efficient tool movement, with manual tool changes eliminating time for automatic tool swaps. This configuration is optimized for operators requiring a flexible, manual tool handling setup combined with moderate horsepower and spindle speed capabilities. The compact table size and moderate workpiece weight capacity make it well-suited for workshops focused on prototyping or lower-volume production requiring precision milling. The spindle taper is not specified, but the vertical spindle orientation and 3-HP rating indicate good suitability for a variety of materials and machining tasks that do not demand high-speed or multi-tool automatic tool changers. Overall, the Fortune 4VK-MAN is a straightforward, workhorse vertical machining center emphasizing manual tooling with robust spindle power and moderate work envelope dimensions.
