2016 AKIRA SEIKI PERFORMAV4 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2016 Akira Seiki Performa V4 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Akira Seiki's Performa V series, offering an extended X-axis travel relative to the V3 while maintaining the same proven column and spindle architecture. The Performa V4 features a BT-40 spindle taper with a 35 HP peak motor capable of speeds up to 12,000 RPM, with oil chilling for stable continuous production cutting. The worktable measures 1,200 by 480 millimeters (47.2 by 19 inches) with a standard workpiece load capacity of 980 kilograms. Axis travels are 1,050 mm (41.3 inches) in X, 540 mm (19.8 inches) in Y, and 560 mm (22 inches) in Z. Rapid traverse reaches 44 m/min in X and Y and 25 m/min in Z. A 28-tool arm-type ATC is standard, and the machine is controlled by the Akira Mi:845 system (Fanuc G-code compatible). Overall machine dimensions are approximately 133 by 88 inches (3,370 by 2,240 mm), with a machine weight of approximately 6,522 kilograms (14,379 pounds). The 2016 build year reflects a later production period during which Akira Seiki incorporated updated control system features and refined mechanical tolerances. The Performa V4 was well suited for production machining of longer workpieces in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Standard equipment includes flood coolant, chip removal system, automatic lubrication, and full enclosure.
