ARES-SEIKI A560 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical spindle CNC machining center features a work table measuring 25.6" × 16.1" with a maximum workpiece capacity of 440 lbs, providing substantial support for mid-sized components. The machine is equipped with a BT#30 spindle taper operating at a standard maximum speed of 10,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 15,000 RPM for faster machining operations on lighter materials. The spindle delivers 5.0 HP at a 30-minute continuous rating, enabling efficient material removal across various applications. The automatic tool changer (ATC) arm-type system accommodates 20 tools with rapid changeover capabilities—1.40 seconds for standard tool changes and 2.20 seconds including chip clearing time—minimizing non-productive machine downtime. The machine operates on a full 3-axis configuration, with X-axis travel of 22.0", Y-axis travel of 15.7", and Z-axis travel of 13.8", all achieving rapid traverse rates of 1,890 ipm for swift positioning between cuts. This 3-axis vertical milling architecture is ideal for standard machining operations, cavity work, and precision parts requiring high-speed spindle capability. The combination of substantial table size, rapid tool changes, high rapid traverse rates, and optional spindle speed upgrade makes this machine well-suited for production environments requiring consistent accuracy and throughput on small to medium-sized workpieces.
