Acra AM5 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a compact 58" x 12" work table designed to accommodate workpieces up to 750 lbs, making it suitable for precision machining of small to medium-sized components. The machine is equipped with a #40 taper spindle operating at a maximum speed of 3,750 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 5,000 RPM for higher-speed applications. The spindle motor provides 5 HP at a 30-minute continuous rating, delivering adequate power for general-purpose milling, drilling, and boring operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The machine features three axes of travel (X, Y, and Z) with a Y-axis traverse of 12 inches, enabling versatile part positioning and multi-directional machining capabilities. Manual tooling is provided with single-tool capacity, positioning this machine as a conventional vertical mill rather than an automated CNC center, making it ideal for job shops and tool rooms requiring flexibility and ease of operation. The machine's robust construction and manual tool changing system emphasize simplicity and reliability over rapid production cycles. This configuration represents a traditional knee-mill design, suitable for applications requiring precision work with minimal setup complexity. The compact footprint and manual operation make it well-suited for shops with space constraints or those preferring operator control over automated machining processes.
