Technical Description
This vertical machining center features a precision table measuring 12.6" x 12.6" (expandable optionally to 15.7" x 15.7") with a robust maximum workpiece capacity of 1,100 lbs, designed to support heavy-duty machining tasks without auxiliary table supports. The vertical spindle utilizes an HSK-A63 taper (optionally HSK-T63), delivering high-speed operation with standard top spindle speed at 10,000 rpm, upgradeable to 18,000 rpm. The motor provides 21 HP (30-minute rating) with an optional 17 HP configuration, ensuring ample power for diverse material cutting.
Equipped with a versatile disc or rack tool carrier, it supports 40 tools standard with an optional 76-tool capacity, achieving rapid tool changes in approximately 2 seconds and chip-to-chip times of 4.5 seconds. The machine is configured with five axes (four axes optional), supporting complex multi-axis machining, with travels of 18.11" (X), 23.6" (Y), and 15.7" (Z) axes and a 280° A-axis rotation. Rapid traverse rates reach up to 2,358 inches per minute across X, Y, and Z axes, optimizing cycle times for production efficiency.
This center’s spindle and table specifications cater to high-precision, high-speed milling, heavy workpiece handling, and flexible tooling, suitable for demanding milling, drilling, and complex 5-axis operations commonly found in mold making, aerospace, and automotive manufacturing environments. The optional rotary table enhances versatility for complex contouring and multi-faced machining activities.
