2019 Bridgeport V1000 CNC Vertical Machining Center

The 2019 Bridgeport V1000 is a 3-axis CNC vertical machining center built for general-purpose job-shop and short-run production work in a footprint that handles real-world parts up to a 47-inch table length. It pairs a 12,000 RPM CT40 BIG-PLUS dual-contact spindle with a 30-tool side-mount magazine and rides 40.16" x 24" x 24" X/Y/Z travels, driven by Fanuc's 0i-MF control - the same modern operator experience you'd see on a Fanuc-controlled Mazak or Doosan. This particular unit is loaded with Renishaw probing, a dedicated spindle chiller, air/oil mist lubrication, a hinge-type chip conveyor, and thru-spindle coolant prep with rotary union installed - a near-turnkey precision platform ready for an HPC unit if and when the shop wants to add one.

Compared to earlier Bridgeport VMC offerings (the older 1000-class machines that came before the modern V-series), the V1000 steps up to the Fanuc 0i-MF control with significantly more program memory and a modern color interface, gains the BIG-PLUS dual-contact spindle interface for substantially higher rigidity at the 12K RPM ceiling, and pairs the side-mount tool-change architecture with the kind of through-spindle-coolant prep older Bridgeport machines did not ship from the factory. The result is a Bridgeport-platform VMC delivering the brand's classic American value proposition - dependable mechanicals on the Fanuc control architecture U.S. shops know best - in a longer-bed envelope built for today's mid-volume work.
