Ares-Seiki S500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 23.6 inches in length by 15.7 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 550 lbs. The machine is equipped with a high-performance vertical spindle utilizing a BT#30 taper, delivering a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM (with an optional upgrade to 15,000 RPM) and a 30-minute power rating of 7.5 HP, ensuring efficient material removal and precision for a wide range of machining applications. Tooling is managed by an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a 20-tool capacity and a rapid tool change time of just 1.6 seconds, enhancing productivity and minimizing downtime. The machine operates on three primary axes (X, Y, Z), with an optional fourth axis for expanded versatility. Axis travels are 20.0 inches on X, 15.7 inches on Y, and 13.78 inches on Z, providing ample working envelope for medium-sized parts. All axes achieve a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 1,417 inches per minute, enabling fast and accurate positioning for high-speed machining operations. This configuration makes the machine well-suited for precision milling, drilling, and complex contouring tasks in demanding production environments.
