VICTOR NC-118 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The VICTOR NC-118 is a compact horizontal machining center designed for precision turning and milling operations on smaller workpieces. Featuring a single main spindle with dual-speed capability rated at 4,000 RPM and 5 HP output, this machine accommodates turning lengths up to 18 inches with a maximum chuck diameter of 5 inches and bar stock up to 1.060 inches in diameter. The spindle delivers an 11-inch maximum swing radius, enabling versatile part geometries. The machine operates across two axes—X and Z—with travel distances of 5.9 inches and 12.6 inches respectively, both capable of rapid traverse and feed rates of 200 inches per minute, ensuring efficient cycle times. Tool management is handled through a fixture plate primary carrier with a rotary tool magazine holding up to four tools, though only one cutting tool can engage simultaneously. This configuration permits coordinated turning and milling operations without requiring tool changes between operations. The NC-118's relatively compact footprint and modest spindle power make it ideal for job shops and medium-volume production environments focused on precision machining of smaller components. Its two-axis architecture simplifies programming and operation while maintaining the capability for complex part profiles through coordinated X-Z motion. The machine's specifications reflect a balance between accessibility, precision, and production flexibility for applications requiring both turning and milling capabilities in a single setup.
