2018 AKIRA SEIKI HV5.5A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2018 Akira Seiki HV5.5A is a 3-axis high-rigidity vertical machining center from Akira Seiki's HV (Heavy-duty Vertical) series, engineered for demanding heavy-duty cutting of ferrous and exotic materials. The machine features a BT-50 or CAT-50 taper spindle driven by a 42 HP peak motor (35 HP at 30-minute rating) with oil-chilling temperature control, providing consistent spindle performance during extended heavy cutting cycles. Maximum spindle speed is 8,000 RPM (6,000 RPM optional). The worktable measures 1,500 by 600 millimeters (59 by 23.6 inches) and supports a maximum workpiece load of 1,800 kilograms. Axis travels are 1,350 mm (53 inches) in X, 640 mm (25 inches) in Y, and 660 mm (26 inches) in Z. Rapid traverse reaches 1,417 IPM in X and Y and 1,181 IPM in Z. The machine is equipped with a 28-tool arm-type ATC and is controlled by the Akira Mi:845 system (Fanuc G-code compatible). The HV series uses a wide-base column with large-diameter box-way guideways for maximum cutting rigidity. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 150 by 98 inches in footprint (3,800 by 2,495 mm), with a machine weight of 8,290 kilograms (18,277 pounds). Standard equipment includes automatic lubrication, flood coolant, chip drawer, and full enclosure guarding.
