VPF-500Z Power Feed Unit — Variable speed 4–160 r.p.m., 650 in·lb torque by Vertex

The VPF-500Z is a compact power feed unit designed to provide controlled longitudinal movement for machining tables in light to medium‑duty workshops.

• Variable speed 4–160 r.p.m
• High torque: 650 in·lb
• Compact 290×200×320 mm footprint
• 110 V supply, portable 6.9 kg

Consistent feed for repeatable machining quality

The VPF-500Z delivers a regulated feed motion across a broad speed range (4–160 r.p.m., up to 200 r.p.m. peak), enabling steady cutting conditions and improved surface finish on repetitive tasks. The unit’s 650 in·lb torque maintains cut stability under load, which reduces tool chatter and the need for constant manual correction. For operations such as planing, surfacing or light milling, the controlled drive replaces intermittent hand feeds and supports higher process reliability. The technical drive characteristics translate into measurable gains in cycle consistency and fewer scrapped parts.

Small size, easy integration into existing setups

With a compact dimension of 290×200×320 mm and a mass of 6.9 kg, the power feed is engineered for straightforward mounting on machine tables where space is limited. The modest footprint minimises interference with fixtures and keeps the work envelope accessible. The unit runs from a standard 110 V supply, which simplifies electrical integration in many workshop environments without requiring specialised infrastructure. The compact construction and serviceable design make it suitable for bench‑top or small machine‑tool installations where a lightweight, yet capable, feed solution is required.

Practical benefits: productivity, ergonomics and straightforward maintenance

Fitting an external drive like this power feed reduces operator fatigue by automating longitudinal motion and removes variability introduced by manual feeding. The variable speed capability allows setting the optimal feed for different materials and tooling, improving throughput without compromising finish. The drive’s mechanical simplicity eases routine checks; basic lubrication and inspection preserve performance, and the robust torque rating supports short bursts up to the stated maximum speed. The unit therefore offers a pragmatic route to consistent production rates and ergonomic improvements on small to medium‑sized jobs.
