Manford MF-B185VS-SP VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a worktable measuring 50" in length by 12" in width, supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 500 lbs. It operates with a single vertical spindle equipped with a #40 taper, delivering up to 4,300 RPM and powered by a 5 HP motor rated for 30 minutes. The tool carrier is manual and accommodates one tool at a time, with instantaneous tool change time. It provides three axes of motion (X, Y, Z) with travels designed for flexible machining: Y-axis travel of 20 inches and Z-axis travel of 5 inches; the X-axis travel is unspecified. The machine offers rapid traverse rates though specific feed rates for axes are not detailed. Its build supports machining tasks requiring moderate spindle speed and power, suited for precision vertical milling operations on medium-sized workpieces. The manual tool handling and single-tool capability indicate suitability for applications emphasizing controlled, precise cuts rather than high-volume automated tool changes. This configuration balances robust machining with straightforward operation, making it ideal for workshops needing dependable vertical milling for parts under 500 lbs with moderate vertical and longitudinal travel ranges.
