2009 MILLPORT RHINO 40B 5 Axis VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2009 MILLPORT RHINO 40B 5 Axis is a 5-axis vertical machining center based on the Millport RHINO 40B platform, extended with a rotary-tilting table attachment to enable five-sided and simultaneous five-axis machining of complex workpieces. Millport builds the RHINO series as heavy-duty VMC platforms suited to job shop and toolroom applications across a range of metalworking materials. The RHINO 40B provides X/Y/Z axis travels in the range of 39, 15.7, and 25.8 inches respectively, accommodating small-to-medium prismatic components within the machine's standard three-axis envelope. The #40 spindle taper is compatible with a wide range of standard CAT-40 tooling systems, and the spindle motor delivers approximately 5 HP for general-purpose milling and drilling applications. The Centroid M400 CNC control, commonly specified on RHINO-series machines, provides G-code programming capability with rotary axis support for indexing and continuous fifth-axis contouring operations when the rotary-tilting table is engaged. Maximum spindle speed of approximately 6,000 RPM suits the machine's general-purpose cutting envelope across ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The RHINO 40B 5 Axis configuration allows shops to expand beyond three-axis capability for indexed multi-sided work and basic simultaneous five-axis contouring without investing in a purpose-built five-axis machining center, making it a versatile option for toolrooms and small-batch manufacturers requiring multi-axis capability at an accessible price point.
