High-Performance Vertical Machining

MAG Fadal will be demonstrating high-performance vertical machining centers. A MAG Fadal VMC 6535 HTX, tooled with special brazed and solid-carbide cutting tools from MAG Maintenance Technologies, will be aggressively cutting titanium through use of a 50-taper, 6,000rpm high-torque, air/oil spindle delivering 35.8kW (48hp) peak power, and 600Nm (441 ft/lb) peak torque. With X, Y, Z axes travel of 1,651mm x 889mm x 787mm (65" x 35" x 31"), the machine is designed to optimize heavy-duty cutting operations. Cutting feedrates are up to 15.4mpm (600ipm), with rapid travel rates up to 22.86mpm (900ipm).

Two machines from the MAG Fadal FX Series will be demonstrated: a VMC 3016 FX (with a 10,000rpm spindle) and a VMC 4020 FX (15,000rpm spindle), both powered by the Infimatic Freedom NC200 control. Steel, stainless and aluminum parts will be cut on the machines at the show. The 3016 FX and 4020 FX are designed with rigid box-way construction for maximum vibration damping operations. Steinmeyer ETA+ dual-mounted ballscrews optimize machine stiffness and virtually eliminate reversal error. Rapid traverse is 25.4mpm (1,000ipm), with a cutting feedrate up to 20.3mpm (800ipm). X, Y and Z axes travel on the 3016 FX is 762mm x 406mm x 508mm (30" x 16" x 20"); the 4020 FX increases the working envelope with X, Y and Z axes travel of 1,016mm x 508mm x 508mm (40" x 20" x 20").
