Manford VMC-1100 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a 44" x 20" work table capable of supporting up to 1,540 lbs, suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. It offers a 3-axis configuration with X-axis travel of 43.3", Y and Z axes each providing 22" of travel, all capable of a maximum feed rate of 394 inches per minute and rapid traverse at 1,416 ipm. The vertical spindle supports BT40 taper as standard with an optional CAT40 taper, driven by a 15 HP motor rated for 30-minute operation, spinning up to 8,000 RPM as standard and optionally up to 12,000 RPM for higher-speed machining. Tool management is automated via a 20-station Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) with an option to increase capacity to 24 tools, and optional pallet and rotary table support enhance workpiece handling flexibility. The machine’s spindle and tool holders are designed for stability and precision at high RPMs, leveraging symmetrical BT40 tooling for superior balance or CAT40 taper tools for industry compatibility. This configuration is optimized for precision milling applications requiring substantial workpiece capacity, high spindle power, and versatile tooling options, providing reliable performance for complex part fabrication within the 3-axis CNC machining domain. Rapid traverse rates and robust feed capacity enable efficient cycle times, while optional rotary or support tables allow expanded 4- or 5-axis machining capabilities. The machine architecture emphasizes rigidity, precision, and adaptability through high-quality spindle taper interfaces and advanced tool holding systems.
