MANFORD 4KV VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 42.000 inches in length by 9.000 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 200 lbs. The spindle is oriented vertically and equipped with an R-8 taper, with an optional #30 taper for increased versatility. Maximum spindle speed reaches 2,200 RPM standard, with an optional upgrade to 4,500 RPM for high-speed applications. The spindle is driven by a 3.0 HP motor (30-minute rating), providing ample power for demanding milling tasks. Tooling is manually loaded, supporting a single tool at a time, with no automated tool change capability. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), each offering 16.000 inches of travel, enabling precise positioning and machining of complex workpieces. The Y and Z axes each provide 16.000 inches of travel, while the X-axis travel is not specified in the provided data. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are not detailed, but the machine is designed for accurate and efficient material removal. The construction emphasizes rigidity and stability, suitable for both light and moderate-duty milling operations. The absence of a U-axis indicates this model is optimized for standard three-axis milling rather than advanced multi-axis machining. This machine is ideal for shops requiring reliable, manual tool change capability and flexible spindle options for a range of milling applications.
