Fadal VMC-2520R-II Vertical Machining Center

Are We Going All the Way to Minerals?Starting with its mineral cast base, the specially-engineered casting is capable of reducing harmonic vibrations six times more effectively than fine grain (GG-25) cast iron and 10 times more effectively than steel. This heavy casting is the basic building block for improved piece part finishes at increased feed rates!In addition to the mineral cast base, the Series II is equipped with precision linear profile guide rails, which provide the most stable, accurate, long-lasting load distribution design available. A feature not typically found on a machining center of this price. Typical maintenance is virtually eliminated with this linear guide rail. Long after the machine center is put into production, if the rails ever need to be replaced, the repair is simple and the replacement parts are readily available.That’s All Well and Good, but Do They Make the Size I Need?Fadal’s Classic Series precision vertical machining centers come in a wide range of sizes. They engineer and build VMC’s for today’s machine shops, tool rooms, die/mold and production shops in order to make them more competitive. The machines are designed for parts producers who need a full-featured machining center with low operating cost but have a minimal capital investment dollars to spend. Fadal VMCs feature a roller or box way construction design. All models come standard with a precision 10,000 RPM spindle and the Fadal 64MP CNC controller.The VMC-2520R-II Series vertical machining center is built for smaller size and light duty parts. The machine is designed to deliver high material removed rates, and reduced part cycle times while holding increased positioning accuracy and repeatability. Its roller ways design results in maximum vibration damping and ensures vibration-free cutting for consistently closer tolerances.SpecificationsModelVMC-2520R-IITravel X axis (in.)25.5Travel Y axis (in.)20Travel Z axis (in.)20Table size (in.)31.5 x 17.7Max. weight on table (lbs.)990Floor to table surface (in.)34Spindle nose to table (in.)4.7 to 25.1Spindle center to column (in.)21.25T-slots and dimensions (in.)(3) 4.33 x .709 x 1.25Way constructionRoller BearingCutting feed rate (ipm)790Rapid travel rate X/Y/Z (ipm)1,187 / 1,187 / 1,187Axis drive motor X,Y & Z (hp)2.4, 2.4, 2.4Ballscrew size (mm.)40Accuracy positioning - JIS B6338 (in.)0.0002Accuracy repeatabililty - JIS B6338 (in.)0.0001Glass scales X,Y & ZNoPower transferFadal automatic 2-speed mechanical Hi / LowSpindle speed (RPM)10,000Spindle taperCAT-40 / BT-40*Spindle power - Peak (hp)15 (175 ft lbs Torque)Spindle chillerStandardSpindle orientationStandardRigid tappingStandardATC typeDual armATC tool selectionRandomNumber of tools24Max. tool diameter (in.)4.9With adjacent tool (in.)3.1Max. tool length (in.)13.5Max. tool weight (lbs.)15Chip auger and coolant tankStandardCoolant pumpStandardAir pressure required (PSI)90Min. power required at 220V (kVA)15Machine dimensions L x W x H (in.)100 x 96 x 103.7Machine weight (lbs.)10,978* optional
