Manford CV-175 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a precision work table measuring 52.000 inches in length by 11.000 inches in width, designed to accommodate workpieces up to 300 pounds. The machine is equipped with a vertical R-8 taper spindle capable of reaching 5,000 RPM at maximum speed, with an optional #30 taper configuration available. The spindle delivers 3.00 horsepower with a 30-minute continuous rating, providing adequate cutting power for general milling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The machine incorporates manual tool changing with a single tool carrier, eliminating automatic tool changer complexity for straightforward shop operations. Three-axis CNC control enables precise positioning and rapid material removal, with X-axis travel of 33.000 inches, Y-axis travel of 15.300 inches, and Z-axis travel of 5.000 inches, allowing flexible workpiece orientation and access to multiple machining surfaces. The R-8 spindle taper is a standard steep taper commonly found on compact and mid-range machining centers, featuring approximately 3.5 inches of taper per foot. This configuration suits job shop environments requiring versatile milling capabilities for small to medium components. The machine's dimensional specifications and horsepower rating indicate it functions as a compact vertical mill suitable for precision work, tool room applications, and general production milling where manual tool changing is acceptable and spindle speeds up to 5,000 RPM adequately serve material removal requirements.
