Argo Seiki A-56 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a CAT#40 spindle taper with a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 RPM and a 10 HP motor (30 min rating) for robust machining performance. The machine supports three axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 22.05" (X), 16.14" (Y), and 16.14" (Z), all capable of maximum feed rates up to 590 IPM and rapid traverses at 1,890 IPM, ensuring efficient material removal and high-speed positioning. The worktable measures 23.62" x 15.75" and can support workpieces up to 440 lbs, with optional support for rotary tables and indexing devices to expand operational flexibility. Equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC) holding up to 24 tools, this machine maintains productivity with a tool change time of 1.25 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 2.5 seconds, enabling fast and seamless tool swaps. A pallet changer option with two pallets provides increased automation and reduced downtime. The machine’s vertical spindle configuration is engineered for precision machining in various applications, with the robust construction validated for workpieces up to 440 lbs. Its CAT40 spindle taper, high-speed spindle, and advanced tooling system are suitable for demanding industrial milling operations, offering balance between speed, power, and accuracy on a compact footprint. Optional accessories like rotary and indexing tables allow for enhanced multi-axis setups when required. This machine combines high-speed milling capabilities with rigid structural design and automation options to optimize production efficiency in a 3-axis machining environment.
