Ares-Seiki R600 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a compact work table measuring 27.5" × 16.1" with a maximum workpiece capacity of 550 lbs, making it suitable for small to medium-sized components. The machine is equipped with a BT#40 spindle offering dual speed options: a standard 8,000 RPM configuration with 10 HP (30-minute rating) or an optional 12,000 RPM variant, providing flexibility for both heavy-duty cutting and high-speed finishing operations. The three-axis design delivers substantial travel distances with 23.6" X-axis, 15.7" Y-axis, and 15.7" Z-axis stroke, enabling machining of complex geometries across multiple planes. A 12-pocket automatic tool changer (expandable to 24 tools) with rapid tool change times of 2.2 seconds standard or 4.3 seconds with chip clearing ensures efficient production workflows and minimizes spindle idle time. The machine achieves rapid traverse rates of 1,417 ipm on all axes with consistent feed rates of 496 ipm, optimizing cycle times for demanding applications. Optional 4-axis capability can be configured for rotational work and advanced contouring. With BT#40 spindle compatibility, the machine accommodates industry-standard tooling for comprehensive machining operations including milling, drilling, and boring. This configuration balances precision, speed, and capacity for job shop and production environments requiring versatile metalworking capabilities.
