1994 MILLTRONICS VMD30 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 1994 Milltronics VMD30 is a 3-axis bridge-type vertical machining center from Milltronics' VMD series, designed for the production of long and large prismatic workpieces that exceed the capacity of conventional C-frame VMC designs. The VMD30 features a fixed bridge column spanning a longitudinally traversing table, with the table providing the primary X-axis motion. The machine accommodates tables in multiple length configurations, with X-axis travel corresponding to the selected table length. The cast-iron table and base construction support heavy workpiece loads while maintaining rigidity for accurate machining. The spindle operates at up to 6,000 RPM with a 20 HP motor, suited to face milling, profiling, and drilling in steel, aluminum, and cast iron. The Milltronics Centurion CNC provides conversational and G-code programming capability. Overall machine footprint is approximately 206 x 103 x 122 inches. As a 1994 vintage machine, the VMD30 is an older unit with significant operating history; buyers should verify control condition, axis drive health, and spindle bearing status. The VMD series was a staple of North American job shops producing large components, and parts remain available through the Milltronics service network.
