Manford VH-1600 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large worktable measuring 70.8 inches in length by 33.2 inches in width, capable of supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 4,840 lbs. The machine has a vertical spindle with a BT 50 taper, also optionally available with a CAT 50 taper, delivering up to 6,000 RPM and powered by a 25 HP motor rated for 30 minutes. It is equipped with a 24-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), allowing efficient tool management and optional pallet and rotary table supports for enhanced workpiece handling. The machining center operates on three axes—X, Y, and Z—with travels of 63.0 inches, 31.5 inches, and 31.9 inches respectively. Each axis supports a maximum feed rate of 394 inches per minute and a rapid traverse rate of 590 inches per minute. The absence of a U-axis reflects the standard 3-axis control. This robust configuration suits heavy-duty milling applications requiring substantial workpiece capacity, high spindle power, and versatile tooling automation, making it ideal for precision machining of large parts requiring rigid setup and high feed rates with significant cutting forces. Optional rotary and support tables enhance workpiece versatility and operational flexibility.
