Willis Machinery & Tools BTM 30 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a rigid worktable measuring 52 inches long by 11 inches wide, capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,500 lbs. The spindle is vertically oriented with a #40 taper and delivers up to 5 HP (30-minute rating) with a maximum speed of 4,000 RPM. The machine operates with five axes, including linear travels of 30 inches on the X-axis, 20 inches on the Y-axis, and 5 inches on the Z-axis, plus a rotary A-axis capable of 180 degrees of movement, enabling complex multi-axis machining operations. Tooling is manual with a single tool carrier, designed for simpler tool changes without automatic tool changer capabilities. The structure supports heavy-duty machining with a robust build, suitable for medium-sized, precise milling applications requiring moderate spindle speed and power. The combination of axis travel and spindle specifications allows for versatile machining of various materials, accommodating large workpieces with fine positional control. The machine’s configuration targets precision and durability in vertical milling tasks with a controlled spindle speed and torque appropriate for medium-scale industrial manufacturing or prototyping.
