Acra VMC500P VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a worktable measuring 20" x 16" capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,000 lbs, providing a robust platform for heavy-duty machining. The vertical spindle uses a #40 taper, with a standard top speed of 6,000 RPM and an optional upgrade to 10,000 RPM for higher-speed applications. Powered by an 8 HP motor rated for 30-minute intervals, it ensures sufficient torque and power for various material cutting tasks. The machine employs an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) that holds 16 tools, with an optional expansion to 20 tools, significantly improving efficiency by enabling rapid tool switching with zero chip-to-chip time. It operates on a 3-axis configuration (X, Y, Z) with travels of 20", 16", and 16" respectively, and a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 590 inches per minute on all axes, facilitating fast and precise material removal. Optional upgrades include a 4th axis capability and support accessories like rotary or index tables to enhance multi-axis machining versatility. This combination of mechanical strength, high spindle power, moderate to high spindle speeds, and tool capacity make it suitable for machining complex parts across various industries, maintaining accuracy and efficiency in medium to heavy-duty milling operations.
