Akira-Seiki HSV 1500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a durable table measuring 64.2" x 29.2" capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,500 lbs, with optional support for indexing and rotary tables. It operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 62", 32", and 27.5" respectively, each axis offering a max feed rate of 600 ipm and rapid traverse of 900 ipm, enabling efficient and precise machining operations. The spindle is vertically oriented with a CT #50 taper, optionally convertible to BT #50, delivering up to 7,000 RPM and 30 HP (30-minute rating), suitable for a wide variety of materials and cutting conditions. The tool changer is an automatic type capable of holding 24 tools, with a rapid tool change time of 3.5 seconds, enhancing workflow and reducing downtime during complex or multi-tool processes. Pallet changer functionality is available as an option to increase automation and productivity. This configuration suits heavy-duty machining needs in industries requiring large workpiece handling and versatile tooling setups, combining robust mechanical travel capabilities with efficient tool management for high-volume or precision milling tasks. The absence of a U axis indicates a focus on standard three-axis operations, with expandability through optional accessories. This setup balances size, power, and tooling capacity designed for demanding vertical machining center applications.
