1998 AKIRA SEIKI V2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1998 Akira Seiki V2 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Akira Seiki's Performa V series, representing a foundational model in this lineup designed for general-purpose milling and machining of small-to-medium workpieces. The V2 features a BT-40 spindle taper with a 20 HP motor and a maximum spindle speed of 10,000 RPM. The worktable measures 700 by 400 millimeters (27.6 by 15.8 inches) with a standard workpiece load capacity of 600 kilograms. Axis travels are 550 mm (21.7 inches) in X, 445 mm (17.5 inches) in Y, and 520 mm (20.5 inches) in Z. Rapid traverse reaches 40 m/min in X and Y and 30 m/min in Z. The machine is equipped with a 28-tool arm-type ATC with a chip-to-chip time of 2.2 seconds. The machine is controlled by the Akira Mi:845 system (Fanuc G-code compatible). Overall machine dimensions are approximately 75 by 87 inches in footprint, with a machine weight of approximately 3,925 kilograms (8,654 pounds). The 1998 build year places this machine in an early era of Akira Seiki's Performa V production; buyers should verify ballscrew condition, spindle bearings, and ATC mechanism as part of any acquisition evaluation. Standard equipment included flood coolant, drawer-type chip disposal, automatic lubrication, and full enclosure.
