2001 FRYER VB40 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS
Specifications & Market Value

Technical Description
The 2001 Fryer VB40 is a 3-axis vertical bridge (gantry-style) machining center manufactured by Fryer Machine Systems of Patterson, New York. The VB40 is an early model in Fryer's VB Series, designed for machining medium-length workpieces on a fixed-bridge platform that provides rigidity superior to conventional C-frame VMCs at this travel length. The machine provides a 40-inch X travel, 18-inch Y travel, and CAT-40 spindle running to 6,000 RPM with 15 HP. A 16-station automatic tool changer supports multi-operation setups. Rapid traverse rates of 300 IPM are suited to the machine's robust bridge construction. CNC motion control is provided by the Anilam 1400M system, standard on Fryer VB machines of this era. The 40 x 54-inch worktable supports mold base, fixture, and structural component machining across steel and aluminum workpieces. The VB40 represents Fryer's approach to providing American-built bridge-style machining capacity at accessible price points for job shops and production facilities.
