Argo Seiki A-56 GRAPHITE MASTER VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a compact worktable measuring 23.62" x 15.75" with a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 440 lbs. The machine operates on 3 axes (X, Y, Z) providing travel distances of 22.05", 16.14", and 16.14" respectively, each with a rapid traverse rate of 1,890 ipm and maximum feed rate of 590 ipm, allowing for high-speed and precise machining operations. The spindle is vertical with an HSK-E40 taper, delivering up to 40,000 RPM and powered by a 35 HP motor with a 30-minute rating, supporting high-speed milling and cutting tasks with excellent rigidity and thermal stability. The tool management system includes a 24-position automatic tool changer (ATC) with a rapid tool change time of 1.25 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 2.5 seconds, significantly reducing downtime. Optional features include a support index table and a pallet changer with up to 2 pallets, enhancing flexibility for batch production and complex setups. The machine is engineered for precision, speed, and efficiency in manufacturing environments requiring fast tool changes, high spindle speeds, and robust workpiece support, making it suitable for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering. The spindle interface HSK-E40 ensures accurate tool holding, reduced vibration, and extreme rigidity critical for high-performance machining.
