2014 Mighty Viper VMC-116A | Only 7,201 Hours | Box Way & Geared Head | CAT-40

2014 Mighty Model VMC-116A Vertical Machining Center

Low Hours | Geared Head | Heavy-Duty Box Way Construction

We proud to offer this exceptional 2014 Mighty Viper VMC-116A. Unlike standard linear-guide machines, the "AG" series is engineered for maximum vibration damping and high-torque metal removal. With only 7,201 Auto Operating Hours, this machine has spent its life in a light-duty environment and is ready for immediate high-production service.

Built on a massive Meehanite cast iron foundation with a 4-way box base, the VMC-116A offers a level of rigidity that modern lightweight VMCs simply cannot match. It is the ideal choice for shops machining tough alloys, stainless steel, or large molds.

Key Performance Specs (S/N 184616)

• Hours: 7,201 Auto Operating Hours (Verified)
• Table Size: 49.21" x 23.62" (Massive 2,640 lb capacity)
• Travels (X/Y/Z): 43.31" x 23.62" x 25.00"
• Spindle: 8,000 RPM Geared-Head for High Torque
• Taper: CAT-40
• ATC: 24-Station Twin-Arm (Side Mount)
• Control: Mitsubishi M70-VA (High-Speed Processing)

Why This Machine Stands Out

• Geared-Head Torque: The gear-driven spindle provides the low-end power needed for large face mills and heavy boring operations without stalling.
• Exceptional Stability: The wide-stance box ways are in excellent condition, ensuring the machine maintains accuracy even during aggressive material removal.
• Advanced Thermal Control: Includes a factory Habor Brand Spindle Oil Cooler to prevent thermal growth during long-cycle precision work.
• Ready for Inspection: Currently under power and available for viewing. This unit has been meticulously maintained with a clean centralized lubrication system.

Included Factory Features

• Full Splash Guarding & Work Lighting
• Integrated Screw-Type Chip Auger
• Link-Type Lift-Up Chip Conveyor
• Rigid Tapping & RS-232 Interface
• Foot Pedal for Spindle Clamp/Unclamp
• Tri-Color Operation Stack Light

Investment Summary: This is a "bridge" machine: it offers the footprint and ease of use of a standard VMC but with the heavy-duty guts of a much larger machine. At just over 7,000 hours, it represents an incredible value for a shop looking to expand their heavy milling capacity.
