Amera Seiki VCB-1837 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large worktable measuring 70.87" x 47.25", supporting workpieces up to 8,800 lbs, ideal for heavy-duty machining applications. It operates on a 3-axis configuration with travels of 70.87" (X), 51.18" (Y), and 27.56" (Z), with an optional extended Z travel of 35.43". The spindle is vertically oriented with an HSK A-63 taper (optional CT-40 taper available), capable of speeds up to 24,000 RPM, with a 12,000 RPM option, powered by a 15 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, upgradeable to 25 HP. The tool handling system includes an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 16 tools, expandable to 60 tools for increased operational efficiency. The machine lacks rotary or index tables and does not include a U-axis. Feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are optimized for productivity but unspecified in detail. Overall, this VMC combines a robust table for heavy and large workpieces, a high-speed, high-power spindle with precision tooling options, and flexible tool capacity, making it suitable for demanding vertical machining tasks in industries such as aerospace, automotive, or mold making.
