This vertical CNC machining center features a substantial 37.4" x 20.5" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,100 lbs, making it suitable for mid-range production and prototype work. The machine is equipped with a BIG-PLUS 40 spindle system, which provides enhanced tool rigidity through simultaneous taper and flange contact, resulting in improved surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The spindle delivers 30 HP at a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM, enabling efficient machining of various materials. The three-axis configuration provides 31.5" X-travel, 20.5" Y-travel, and 19.9" Z-travel, with rapid traverse rates reaching 2,362 IPM across all axes. The machine incorporates an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a dual swing arm that accommodates 30 tools standard or up to 50 tools optionally, with an exceptionally fast 1.9-second tool change time. Optional support for index and rotary tables adds versatility for complex part geometries. The BIG-PLUS spindle system minimizes Z-axial movement during high-speed operation and maintains tool repeatability within 1 micron when using the ATC, critical for maintaining tight tolerances. This combination of rigid spindle architecture, generous work envelope, and rapid tool changing capability makes this machine well-suited for die-casting dies, injection molding components, aerospace parts, and other precision machining applications requiring high accuracy and productivity.
