Fadal VMC 4022

Q: How much does the Fadal VMC 4022 cost?

The price estimate for the Fadal VMC 4022 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/fadal-vmc-4022#price; the request is passed to Fadal or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Fadal VMC 4022 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

Fadal's VMC 4022 pairs a 40 x 22 in (1,016 x 559 mm) table with travels that match it exactly: 40 in (1,016 mm) in X and 22 in (559 mm) in both Y and Z. The whole table surface is reachable by the spindle, which is not true of every machine in this size class. Table load is 1,760 lb (798 kg).

This is the linear roller guideway machine in the 40 in bracket. All three axes rapid at 1,410 ipm (35.8 m/min), and Fadal lists a cutting feed rate of 393 ipm (10.0 m/min). The VMC 4020 covers the same X travel on box ways at 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) and with a 1,320 lb (599 kg) table load, so the newer design is both quicker and able to carry more.

Fadal publishes less about this model than about its siblings. The table gives a CAT-40 spindle, 10,000 rpm and belt drive. It states no torque, no motor power, no tool capacity and no tool change time, and the standard feature list does not name a tool changer size either; the only magazine figure on the page is a 30 Tool ATC among the options. Anyone comparing spindles should get those numbers in writing.

What the feature lists do say is useful. A spindle oil cooler, spindle air blast, rigid tapping, 3-stage chip separation and a full enclosure are standard. Coolant through the spindle comes at two levels, a prep and a complete system, both optional. The machine weighs 12,125 lb (5,500 kg) and measures 95 x 102 x 102 in (2,413 x 2,591 x 2,591 mm), shorter in length but wider than the VMC 4020 at 109 x 87 x 110 in (2,769 x 2,210 x 2,794 mm).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Travels of 40 x 22 in (1,016 x 559 mm) in X and Y cover the entire 40 x 22 in (1,016 x 559 mm) table
Rapids of 1,410 ipm (35.8 m/min) on X, Y and Z with linear roller guideway construction
Table load of 1,760 lb (798 kg), above the 1,320 lb (599 kg) of the VMC 4020
Spindle nose to table range of 4.75-27.56 in (121-700 mm) with 22 in (559 mm) of Z
Coolant through the spindle can be ordered as a prep only or as a complete system

Limitations

Fadal's table for this model gives no spindle torque or motor power figure
Tool capacity and tool change time are not stated; the page names only an optional 30 Tool ATC
No higher-speed spindle appears in the option list; the table shows 10,000 rpm only
Chip conveyor, touch probe and 4th axis prewire are options

Best For

Plate work and multi-vise setups that use the full 40 x 22 in (1,016 x 559 mm) table Jobs with many short moves, where 1,410 ipm (35.8 m/min) rapids cut idle time Fixtures and parts up to 1,760 lb (798 kg) Rotary work with the optional FR-10D or tilting FTR-8D table

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the Fadal VMC 4022?

X is 40 in (1,016 mm), Y is 22 in (559 mm) and Z is 22 in (559 mm). The table is 40 x 22 in (1,016 x 559 mm), so X and Y travel equal the table dimensions. Spindle nose to table distance runs 4.75-27.56 in (121-700 mm).

02 How does the VMC 4022 compare with the VMC 4020?

Both have 40 in (1,016 mm) of X. The VMC 4022 is built on linear roller guideways with 1,410 ipm (35.8 m/min) rapids, 22 in (559 mm) of Y and a 1,760 lb (798 kg) table load. The VMC 4020 has box ways, 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) rapids, 20 in (508 mm) of Y and a 1,320 lb (599 kg) table load, and its table lists spindle torque of 220 ft-lb (298 Nm), a figure Fadal does not give for this model.

03 What spindle does the VMC 4022 use?

Fadal's table lists a CAT-40 taper, 10,000 rpm and belt drive. Torque and motor power are not stated for this model. A spindle oil cooler and spindle air blast are standard, and coolant through the spindle is optional, either as a prep or as a complete system.

04 How many tools does the VMC 4022 tool changer hold?

The specification table does not say. The only magazine size on Fadal's page for this model is a 30 Tool ATC in the option list, which implies a smaller standard changer. Ask Fadal for the standard capacity, the tool change time and the tool size limits before ordering.

05 Is the VMC 4022 suitable for 4th and 5th axis work?

With options, yes. Fadal lists a 4th axis prewire, a 4 axis ready servo disconnect and a 4th/5th axis servo disconnect for simultaneous use, plus RTCP. Rotary tables on the list include the FR-10D and the tilting FTR-8D. The controller is described as 5 axis compatible.
