2000 MIGHTY VIPER VMC1000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2000 MIGHTY VIPER VMC1000 is a 3-axis vertical machining center built on Mighty Viper's standard VMC-1000 platform, delivering mid-size machining capacity for production and job shop applications across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The machine features a 45.3 x 23.6 inch T-slotted work table within a 39.4 x 23.5 x 24.3 inch X/Y/Z machining envelope, providing ample capacity for mold inserts, prismatic components, and fixture work common in general manufacturing environments. The CAT-40 spindle taper provides broad tooling compatibility, and the 15 HP spindle motor supports cutting at speeds up to 10,000 RPM for both heavy roughing in steel and high-speed finishing in aluminum. A 24-position side-mount automatic tool changer enables multi-step operations without manual tool changes, supporting complex part programs from setup to completion. The Fanuc CNC control delivers industry-standard G-code compatibility, rigid tapping, and straightforward operator interfaces consistent with Fanuc's widely supported platform. At approximately 14,800 lbs, the machine's cast iron construction provides adequate structural mass for stable, repeatable machining results. Rapid traverse rates support efficient positioning across the axis envelope. The VMC1000 represents Mighty Viper's commitment to delivering capable, durable mid-size VMC platforms for the North American and export machining markets, combining reliable Fanuc control integration with Taiwanese manufacturing quality at competitive price points.
