Chevalier Dual Column Machining Center for large part machining.

Our FVM Series features extra wide, extra long tables for machining workpieces up to 44,000lbs.

STANDARD FEATURES: Fanuc 18iMB control, 30HP motor, chip flushing system, 40 tool ATC, air purged spindle, spindle chiller, 4th axis and 1000psi coolant thru-spindle preps, semi-enclosed splash guard, remote MPG, high speed rigid tapping, twin chip augers and lift up chip conveyor

The dual column VMC machining two (2) machine bases in the same table. Machines with longer columns (up to 49.21" spindle nose to table) can be special ordered from the factory.
Solid, cast iron machine base. The X axis uses  no-backlash INA precision roller linear guideways. The chip channel, one on each side, is one-piece with the casting and comes with individual chip augers.
Heavy ribbing at the oversized column, extra wide spacing of box ways and close symmetrical design of the Z axis  provide rigid and smooth cuts. The spindle, ballscrews and dual pneumatic counterbalance cylinders are all strategically positioned to prevent unequal torque.
Temperature sensors in the large 80mm, hollow ballscrews allows continuous coolant circulation and eliminates thermal buildup during heavy duty, extended machining cycles. Cooling system options include coolant-thru-toolholders and coolant-thru spindle devices.
Options: ZF gearbox, 1000psi coolant-thru-spindle, 35HP 8000rpm spindle, 60 tool ATC, Heindenhain linear scales, 90 degree angle head, 5 face auto tool changer, multi angular milling head and extension heads.
