Manford 6KV(S)-FP VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **50" x 12" table** capable of supporting workpieces up to **300 lbs**, making it suitable for medium-duty machining tasks. It operates with a **vertical spindle featuring a #40 taper**, driven by a motor rated at **3 HP (30-minute rating), with an optional upgrade to 5 HP**, delivering spindle speeds up to **2,720 RPM standard with an optional increase to 4,500 RPM** for enhanced cutting performance. The spindle supports manual tool holding with a single tool carrier, allowing for straightforward tool setup and changeover without automatic tool changing capabilities. It is designed with **3-axis movement**, with travel capacities of approximately **15.3 inches on the Y-axis and 15.7 inches on the Z-axis**, while the X-axis travel is unspecified. The feed rates and rapid traverse values are configured to provide effective machining efficiency. This machine balances operational robustness with precision, suitable for various milling, drilling, and machining operations requiring vertical spindle orientation. The manual tooling system and moderate spindle power make it ideal for shops focusing on simpler, versatile milling tasks without fully automated tooling. Overall, this machine offers a compact footprint with solid performance features optimized for workshops needing precise vertical milling capability with a moderate work envelope and spindle capacity.
