High Speed Bridge Style Machining Center



Mazak's high-speed FJV-35/80 Double-Column Vertical Machining Center (VMC) offers high precision over extended periods of operation with its enhanced performance, intelligent functions and rigid machine construction. In a recent demonstration, the bridge-style machine showcased the Intelligent Pocket Milling capabilities of its MAZATROL SmoothG control in 4140 alloy steel.

Suitable for a wide range of industries including aerospace, construction, die and mold and heavy machine, the versatile FJV-35/80 accommodates up to 6,614 lbs. on an 88.19" x 29.53" worktable. "The special design of this vertical machining center eliminates the spindle overhang often incorporated in C-frame VMCs, ensuring precise machining over extended periods of operation," said a company spokesperson.

The machine's ergonomics and space-saving design offer convenient loading/unloading of large workpieces and overall ease of operation.

Mazak equipped the FJV-35/80 with a powerful 50 taper, 50 HP, 10,000 RPM integrated spindle that generates up to 433 ft-lbs. of torque for heavy-duty cutting of large cast iron, steel and aluminum workpieces. Options include a 7,000 RPM high-torque spindle for heavy duty machining of steel or cast iron material, along with a high-speed 18,000 RPM CAT 40 spindle for enhanced efficiency with aluminum and other nonferrous materials. A completely covered machining area keeps chips contained for easier cleanup and workplace safety.

Extensive XYZ machine axis travels of 78.74", 31.50" and 25.98", along with rapid traverse speeds of 1,574 IPM (XY) and 1,181 IPM (Z), allow the FJV-35/80 to maneuver quickly around large workpieces for shorter part processing times. A 30-tool magazine helps reduce set-up time and enables redundant tooling and unattended, uninterrupted production.

The FJV-35/80's MAZATROL SmoothG CNC control makes it easy to generate programs for processing complex parts through off-centerline machining as well as angled drilling, milling and tapping with easy programming in EIA/ISO or MAZATROL conversational language. The control also incorporates a wide variety of advanced programming functions for complete ease of use and high-speed, high-accuracy machining performance.
