PHOENIX VTC 30-10 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1989 PHOENIX VTC 30-10 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust CNC milling machine designed for heavy-duty horizontal machining applications. It features an X-axis travel of 80 inches, a Y-axis travel of 40 inches, and a Z-axis travel of 28 to 40 inches depending on the specific model configuration, providing a substantial working envelope for large and complex parts. The machine is equipped with a powerful 50 hp spindle motor capable of speeds up to 3,000 rpm, allowing it to perform roughing and finishing cuts on a variety of materials with efficiency and precision. The spindle uses a #50 taper, ensuring compatibility with large tooling and heavy loads. This machining center incorporates the Fanuc 11M Iincon CNC control system, a reliable and well-established controller known for its precision, ease of programming, and durability in industrial environments. The machine’s table measures approximately 49 inches by 106.5 inches, supporting sizable workpieces with ample fixture space. Its structure includes box ways for enhanced rigidity and vibration damping, supporting stable and accurate machining operations. Additional features may include a tracer table of 49 by 66 inches for contouring and duplicating capabilities, as well as a newly installed power drawbar that improves tool change efficiency. Built with cast iron components and designed for industrial durability, this machining center is suited for demanding production environments requiring repeatable precision in horizontal milling tasks. It supports complex 3D contouring and can handle various heavy manufacturing demands, making it a versatile asset in metalworking shops.
