2014 Fadal VMC 8030B CNC Vertical Machining Center

The Fadal VMC 8030B is a large-envelope 40-taper CNC vertical machining center with the straightforward, serviceable reputation that made Fadal a fixture in American job shops. This 2014 unit delivers generous X/Y/Z travels of 80 x 30 x 30 inches over an 82.5 x 30 inch T-slot table, with a 40-taper 10,000 RPM spindle, a 21-station side-mount automatic tool changer, and 400 ipm rapids. Rugged box-way construction with telescopic way covers gives it the rigidity to push heavy cuts in steel and cast iron, while the Fadal 64MP multiprocessor control keeps programming and setup fast and familiar for any operator who has run a Fadal.

Compared with earlier Fadal VMC 8030 machines built around the legacy CNC 88HS control, this B-series unit steps up to the 64MP multiprocessor control - more program memory, faster block processing, and smoother look-ahead motion for cleaner finishes on complex parts. The B-series platform also tightened the box-way construction for improved rigidity and repeatability. For a buyer, that means an 80-inch-travel machine with a modern Fadal control and proven mechanicals, ready to drop onto the floor and start making big parts.
