The Hitachi Seiki VS40 is a super productive vertical machining center engineered for high-speed, high-efficiency operations in die and mold manufacturing. This CNC machine features a robust three-axis configuration with X-axis travel of 23.6 inches, Y-axis travel of 17.7 inches, and Z-axis travel of 17.7 inches, providing versatile working envelope for diverse machining applications. The machine accommodates workpieces on a precision table measuring 35.4 inches by 17.7 inches with a maximum load capacity of 770 pounds, suitable for medium-sized components. The spindle operates at 12,000 RPM with CAT-40 taper, delivering consistent cutting performance across various operations. An integrated 20-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) enables rapid tool changes and unattended machining sequences, significantly improving productivity and reducing cycle times. The machine is equipped with a Seicos E-18M or Fanuc 18M CNC controller, providing advanced programming capabilities and precise motion control. The VS40 weighs approximately 17,000 pounds, ensuring rigid construction for dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality. Standard features include a chip conveyor for efficient chip management and a two-station pallet shuttle system, allowing for simultaneous loading and unloading operations. This machining center is ideal for precision die and mold work, prototype development, and small to medium-batch production runs requiring high accuracy and repeatability.
