Acra ADT-S500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a 23.6" × 15.75" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 550 lbs, making it suitable for mid-sized production runs and prototype development. The machine is equipped with a #30 spindle taper operating at a standard 8,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 12,000 RPM for higher-speed finishing operations. The 5 HP spindle delivers consistent power for versatile material removal across various applications. The 20-tool automatic tool changer provides rapid tool selection with an exceptionally fast 1.0-second tool change time, minimizing non-cutting time and enhancing overall productivity. A standard 2-pallet changer system enables unattended operations, allowing simultaneous part setup and machining for improved efficiency. The three-axis configuration provides 20.0" X-travel, 15.75" Y-travel, and 11.8" Z-travel, accommodating complex geometries and multi-faced components. Rapid traverse rates of 1,417 ipm across all axes ensure quick positioning between operations, while maximum feed rates of 197 ipm support aggressive material removal. This machine balances precision, speed, and flexibility, making it ideal for job shops, contract manufacturers, and facilities requiring consistent accuracy with moderate production volumes. The combination of fast tool changing, pallet automation, and high rapid traverse rates significantly reduces cycle times while maintaining tight tolerances essential for demanding applications.
