2008 AKIRA SEIKI V2.5AXP VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2008 Akira Seiki V2.5AXP is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Akira Seiki's Performa V series, delivering enhanced performance in the V2.5 platform through the XP spindle and axis configuration. The AXP designation reflects the Extra Performance variant with a higher-speed spindle and improved rapid traverse rates. The machine features a BT-40 spindle taper with a 22 HP peak motor and a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 RPM, with oil chilling for sustained thermal stability. The worktable measures 910 by 400 millimeters (35.8 by 15.8 inches) with a standard workpiece load capacity of 800 kilograms. Axis travels are 760 mm (30 inches) in X, 445 mm (17.5 inches) in Y, and 520 mm (20.5 inches) in Z. Rapid traverse reaches 44 m/min in X and Y and 36 m/min in Z. A 28-tool arm-type ATC is standard 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 106 by 87 inches (2,700 by 2,200 mm), with a machine weight of 4,123 kilograms (9,090 pounds). Standard equipment includes flood coolant, chip drawer, automatic lubrication, and full enclosure. The 2008 build year represents a mature production period for this model.
