Fadal Machining Centers has introduced a CNC vertical machining center designed for die/mold makers and parts producers who need a full-featured machine with low operating costs, but have minimal capital investment dollars to spend on it. The new Fadal 2216FX addresses critically-needed elements of rigidity, speed, and controls standardization/capability at a precedent-setting price.

“We positioned this product to have the best price/value ratio in its class,” says Jerry McCarty, vice president of sales. “It gives die, mold, and parts producers a machine that ensures that every dime of their capital investment is hard at work, without making them pay for unneeded capability or having to settle for a stripped-down machine. We focused on sustained performance, ease of programming and operation, efficiency factors, and useful options. We also focused on price. The value speaks for itself.”

The machine features rigid box-way construction, Steinmeyer ETA+ dual-mounted ball screws for high accuracy, and 8,000 RPM spindle speed. The GE Fanuc Fadal 0i-MC Control is an industry standard, with over 200 advanced programming, operational and troubleshooting features. Optional AI Contour Control adds “look ahead” capability to optimize acceleration and deceleration of the cutting speed. X/Y/Z axes travel on the 2216FX is 22” X 16” X 20”. The 3016FX increases the work envelope with 30” X-axis travel. Both machines have a 21-tool automatic changer.
