2003 FORTUNE VC70 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2003 Fortune VC70 is a 3-axis vertical machining center produced by Victor Taichung Machinery Works of Taiwan and distributed in North America by Fortune International. The VC70 offers a rigid box-way construction and BT-40 taper spindle suited to a broad range of materials and cutting strategies in job shop and production environments. The machine provides X, Y, and Z travels of 27.5, 18.9, and 20.1 inches respectively, with a 31.5 x 18.1-inch worktable capable of supporting loads up to 1,100 lbs. The spindle operates at speeds up to 8,000 RPM with 7.4 HP continuous power, making it effective for steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys in moderate to high-volume applications. Rapid traverse rates of 1,417 IPM in X/Y minimize non-cutting time. A 24-pocket disc-type automatic tool changer allows uninterrupted multi-tool operations. CNC motion control is provided by the Fanuc 0i-MD system, offering reliable programming compatibility and extensive G-code support. The VC70's robust construction, proven Fanuc control platform, and practical travel envelope make it a versatile general-purpose VMC suitable for die/mold, fixture, and component machining across a variety of industries. The overall machine footprint is approximately 83.6 x 92.5 inches with a height of approximately 100.4 inches, and the machine weighs approximately 9,040 lbs.
