Technical Description
The Fryer MC-60B Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine designed for precision machining of large workpieces. It features substantial travels of 60 inches on the X-axis, 30 inches on the Y-axis, and 28 inches on the Z-axis, accommodating diverse and sizeable parts. This model incorporates a 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC), enabling efficient tool management and minimizing downtime during production. The machine is equipped with a rigid box-way construction that ensures durability and stability for heavy-duty operations, enhancing machining accuracy and surface finish quality. The control system is CNC-based, allowing for precise and programmable movements of the cutting tools across the three axes, supporting complex milling, drilling, boring, and tapping applications. The spindle motor typically ranges around 25 to 30 horsepower, with spindle speeds up to approximately 6,000 to 8,500 RPM, depending on configuration, and accepts BT40 or CAT50 taper tooling. Additional features often include flood coolant systems, chip conveyors, and advanced interface options such as USB file transfers and remote handwheels for operator convenience. The Fryer MC-60B is suitable for machining components in aerospace, automotive, mold-making, and general manufacturing industries, offering a balance of large working envelope, robust construction, and precise CNC control to support high-volume and complex part production efficiently. Its combination of size, power, and automation makes it a versatile solution for heavy and precise vertical milling tasks.
