Technical Description
This CNC vertical machining center features a worktable measuring 47.24" long by 23.6" wide, capable of supporting workpieces up to 2,640 lbs without additional table or rotary supports. It operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), with travel capacities of 43.3" (X), 21.65" (Y), and 21.65" (Z), each axis capable of a maximum feed rate of 472 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds up to 1,650 IPM for efficient machining cycles. The vertical spindle uses a BT40 taper, driven by a 25 HP motor rated for 30-minute operation, with a top spindle speed of 12,000 RPM, optionally upgradeable to 15,000 RPM, providing high-speed machining capacity. Tool handling is facilitated by an automatic tool changer (ATC) holding 24 tools, expandable to 32 tools, enhancing operational flexibility without pallet changer integration. The machine’s design does not include a U axis, focusing on standard 3-axis machining processes. This construction and configuration make it suited for a broad range of milling applications, including heavy workpiece support with precise control over positioning and feed rates, suitable for industries such as aerospace, automotive, mold making, and heavy tooling manufacturing. The combination of high spindle power, substantial travel ranges, and a robust ATC setup enables efficient, precise, and high-volume production machining tasks.
