Victor FV-40(A) VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a spacious 51.1" × 22" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 2,200 lbs, with optional support for rotary and index tables for enhanced versatility. The machine is equipped with a # 40 taper spindle delivering 15 HP at standard 6,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 10,000 RPM for increased cutting speeds on demanding applications. The 18-station automatic tool changer (expandable to 30 tools) enables rapid tool changes in just 7 seconds, minimizing non-cutting time and improving overall productivity. Three primary axes provide substantial travel distances: 40.1" on the X-axis, 22" on both Y and Z axes, with optional 4-axis capability including 360° B-axis rotation for complex multi-sided machining. The machine delivers rapid traverse rates of 708 ipm across all three axes and maximum cutting feed rates of 400 ipm, facilitating efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. Optional dual-pallet changer capability accommodates two pallets, enabling seamless part loading and unloading during continuous machining operations, significantly enhancing production efficiency. This configuration makes the machine well-suited for mid-range production environments requiring precision work on diverse part geometries, from simple prismatic components to complex multi-axis applications, while maintaining tight tolerances and excellent repeatability.
