Chevalier QP2440-L

Q: How much does the Chevalier QP2440-L cost?

The price estimate for the Chevalier QP2440-L is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/chevalier-qp2440-l#price; the request is passed to Chevalier Machinery or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Chevalier QP2440-L that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Chevalier QP2440-L is the deep-throat 40 in machine of the QP series: 40.2 in (1,020 mm) in X with 24.0 in (610 mm) of Y travel and 27.0 in (685 mm) from spindle center to column. Those two Y figures are what the model exists for. The QP2040-L, with the same X travel, stops at 20.9 in (530 mm) of Y and 23.0 in (585 mm) of throat.

More Y means square plates, mould bases and two rows of vises fit without overhanging the front of the table, which is 47.2 in x 24.0 in (1,200 x 610 mm). Z travel grows too, to 21.7 in (550 mm), and the spindle nose reaches 26.8 in (680 mm) above the table at the top of its stroke. Table load is 1,320 lb (600 kg).

Rapid traverse is 1,417/1,417/944 ipm (36/36/24 m/min) on linear ways, and cutting feed 39.3 to 393 ipm. The spindle has a #40 Big Plus taper and a 2.8 in (70 mm) diameter. Belt drive covers 100 to 10,000 rpm and direct drive 120 to 12,000 rpm. A 24+1 arm type magazine changes tools in 2 sec tool-to-tool.

At 14,770 lb (6,700 kg) it is about half a ton heavier than the QP2040-L, and its footprint is 110.2 in x 123.2 in with a height of 120.0 in. Chevalier lists high pressure coolant for the series and a structure of high-quality cast iron. The control is a Fanuc 0i-M.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

24.0 in (610 mm) of Y travel with 27.0 in (685 mm) from spindle center to column
47.2 in x 24.0 in (1,200 x 610 mm) table
21.7 in (550 mm) of Z and up to 26.8 in (680 mm) from spindle nose to table
Rapids of 1,417/1,417/944 ipm (36/36/24 m/min) with a 2 sec tool change

Best For

Mould bases and square plates up to 24.0 in (610 mm) deep Double-row vise setups across the 24.0 in (610 mm) table depth Fourth-axis work that needs Z height High-speed finishing of tooling at 12,000 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the QP2440-L?

X is 40.2 in (1,020 mm), Y is 24.0 in (610 mm) and Z is 21.7 in (550 mm). The distance from spindle nose to table is 5.1 in to 26.8 in (130 to 680 mm), and from spindle center to column 27.0 in (685 mm).

02 Why choose the QP2440-L over the QP2040-L?

For Y capacity. The QP2440-L has 24.0 in (610 mm) of Y travel and a 24.0 in deep table; the QP2040-L has 20.9 in (530 mm) and a 20.1 in deep table. It also adds Z travel, 21.7 in (550 mm) against 20.1 in (510 mm) on the QP2040-L. X travel and table load are the same.

03 How fast are the axes?

Rapid traverse is 1,417/1,417/944 ipm (36/36/24 m/min) in X, Y and Z, and cutting feed is 39.3 to 393 ipm (1 to 10 m/min). The maker states that all linear axes are directly coupled between ball screw and servo motor.

04 What are the weight and floor space?

Net weight is 14,770 lb (6,700 kg). Floor space is 110.2 in x 123.2 in x 120.0 in (2,800 x 3,130 x 3,050 mm). Allow extra room around it for the chip conveyor and the coolant tank.

05 Which spindle drives are listed?

Belt drive at 100 to 10,000 rpm and direct drive at 120 to 12,000 rpm. Both use the #40 Big Plus taper with BT40 tooling as standard and CT40 or DIN40 as options. Spindle diameter is 2.8 in (70 mm).
