Milltronics VKM4 Series E CNC vertical mill. Manufactured 10/2001. Serial No. 10612. 220 VAC, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz, 30 amp full-load current.
This machine was used by a high school robotics program and remained in use through the Spring 2026 robotics season. According to the robotics program, the CNC mill is functional. In recent years the machine has been operated with the quill kept approximately 2 cm below its highest position due to a limitation the program could not specifically recall the cause of.
The machine was retired primarily because its original control software runs on Windows 98 and there is no commercially available controller upgrade known to the program. The school also wanted students to gain experience with newer enclosed CNC equipment more representative of equipment currently used in industry.
The controller was upgraded in 2017 by a robotics mentor/software systems professional to accept G-code via USB thumb drive rather than floppy disk. Because of the age of the control software, compatibility with modern CAM-generated G-code is not guaranteed.
Known service/repair history includes:
2022 – D&L Precision Rebuilding: collet/tool stuck in automatic drawbar
2017 – CNC Solutions: quill return
There is a missing bolt on the head. According to the robotics program, the head can still be trammed, although the procedure is somewhat non-standard.
Included with the machine are its CNC controller/control console, associated control components and cables, keyboard, fabricated operator/workstation structure, and additional components/accessories shown in the photographs. Buyers should review all photographs to determine the exact items included in the sale.
The machine was professionally disconnected and relocated from its former classroom location to its current pickup location.
BUYER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL RIGGING, LOADING, REMOVAL, TRANSPORTATION, EQUIPMENT, AND PERSONNEL REQUIRED TO REMOVE THE MACHINE FROM ITS CURRENT LOCATION. Seller personnel will not dismantle, rig, lift, load, reconnect, or otherwise prepare the machine for transport.
Due to the size and weight of this equipment, the successful bidder should arrive with appropriately rated equipment and qualified personnel necessary to safely load and transport the machine. Buyers are strongly encouraged to inspect the machine and pickup location prior to bidding and plan accordingly.
The machine has not been operated or independently tested by the seller following professional disconnection and relocation.
Due to the age of the machine and control system, no guarantee is made regarding compatibility with current software, computers, CAM systems, or G-code. Prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the machine and included components prior to bidding.
Sold AS IS, WHERE IS, with no warranties or guarantees expressed or implied.
