AKIRA SEIKI PERFORMA V4 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust Mitsubishi M64 MELDASMAGIC64 CNC control system, delivering precision automation for complex part production. The machine accommodates large workpieces with 41" X-axis travel, 20" Y-axis travel, and 20" Z-axis travel, paired with a 45" x 18" work table capable of supporting substantial loads. The 18 HP spindle motor delivers speeds up to 8,000 RPM with BT 40 taper compatibility, enabling efficient material removal across diverse applications. High-speed rapid traverse rates of 1,000 IPM on X/Y-axes and 700 IPM on the Z-axis minimize non-cutting cycle time, enhancing productivity. The integrated 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC) enables seamless tool changes without manual intervention, maximizing machining efficiency. The M64 control platform supports multiple programming modes, including memory mode, MDI input, and tape-based operations, providing flexibility for various manufacturing scenarios. Advanced features include automatic acceleration/deceleration control, thread-cutting capability, and multi-axis simultaneous contouring for complex geometries. The machine's substantial 12,000-pound mass ensures rigid structure and vibration dampening during high-speed operations. Overall dimensions of 112" x 90" x 108" require adequate facility space planning. This configuration is ideal for job shops and production environments requiring versatile, accurate vertical milling capabilities with rapid cycle times and reliable CNC-controlled automation.
