AMS GEMINI JR VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a compact footprint with travel dimensions of 19.68 inches on the X-axis, 17.71 inches on the Y-axis, and 23.62 inches on the Z-axis, making it suitable for small to mid-sized job shops and precision manufacturing applications. The machine is equipped with a work table measuring 17.71 inches wide by 35.43 inches long, providing adequate workspace for fixture mounting and part setup. The spindle delivers 10.05 horsepower at a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, enabling efficient cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous materials with good surface finish quality. The BT 40 taper interface accommodates a wide range of standard tooling, offering versatility for various machining operations including milling, drilling, and boring. Control is managed by the FANUC 0i-MD CNC system, which supports up to four simultaneously controlled axes with digital servo capability, though three axes are available if contouring operations are used. The controller features standard capabilities including automatic acceleration/deceleration, feedrate override (0-254%), jog override (0-655.34%), rigid tapping, and manual guide operation. The 0i-MD provides nanometer interpolation for precision work and supports both inch and metric programming. With standard features including stored stroke checking, backlash compensation, and position switching, this machine is well-suited for precision machining requiring high reliability and repeatability in production environments.
