Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a sturdy work table sized 54" long by 16" wide, supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 2,200 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. The spindle is vertically oriented with a #40 taper, driven by a 7.5 HP motor rated for 30-minute intervals and capable of reaching speeds up to 4,000 RPM, providing robust power for a variety of milling and drilling operations. The machine includes a manual single-tool carrier with no automatic tool change time, optimized for dedicated tooling setups. It operates on three axes (X, Y, and Z) with travels of 40", 20", and 27.5" respectively, allowing ample range for versatile machining. The design prioritizes rigidity and precision for industrial applications requiring stable and accurate machining of medium to large workpieces. This setup is ideal for shops needing a high-capacity vertical mill with moderate spindle speed and heavy workpiece support without complex automatic tool changing features. The machine's specification balances power, table size, and travel to accommodate diverse metalworking and fabrication requirements efficiently.
