Fryer Machine Systems MC-80 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 93" (L) x 30" (W) with a maximum workpiece capacity of 5,500 lbs, allowing it to handle heavy-duty machining tasks. The machine supports optional indexing and rotary tables for enhanced workholding flexibility. It employs a vertical spindle with a standard CAT 40 taper, upgradeable to CAT 50 for higher rigidity and larger tooling compatibility. The spindle achieves a top speed of 8,500 RPM, with an optional increase to 12,000 RPM, powered by a 25 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, enabling high-performance cutting operations. Tooling is managed through a 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC), with a rapid tool change time of 3 seconds, and an optional pallet changer system supporting 2 pallets for improved production efficiency. The machine operates on 3 axes (X, Y, Z) with an optional 4th axis, providing travel ranges of 80" (X), 35" (Y), and 30" (Z), extendable to 34" on Z-axis, with maximum feed rates of 400 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds of 600 inches per minute on all axes. The CAT40 taper offers a balanced combination of speed and rigidity, suitable for a wide range of machining applications, while the optional CAT50 taper provides enhanced stability for heavy-duty cuts. This configuration is ideal for precision machining of large, heavy components requiring versatile tool management and high spindle power. Optional accessories such as rotary and indexing tables, as well as pallet changer systems, further enhance its capability for complex and automated production environments.
