AXA VCC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This high-performance CNC machining center features a robust build with a working envelope of X: 28.35 inches, Y: 20.47 inches, and Z: 23.62 inches, providing ample space for medium to large workpieces. Powered by a 40.23 hp spindle, the machine delivers strong cutting performance suitable for a wide range of materials, including steel, aluminum, and composites. The spindle achieves speeds up to 6,000 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal and fine surface finishes. Equipped with a 22-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), the system enables rapid tool changes, minimizing downtime and increasing productivity for complex machining operations. The spindle taper is SK40, a European standard known for its steep 1:10 taper angle, which provides excellent clamping stability, high rigidity, and superior concentricity—ideal for high-speed and high-precision applications. The machine is controlled by a Heidenhain TNC 426 CNC control system, renowned for its intuitive interface, advanced programming capabilities, and reliable performance in demanding production environments. This combination of features makes the machining center well-suited for precision milling, drilling, and contouring tasks in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making. The SK40 taper ensures compatibility with a broad range of European tooling, while the high spindle power and speed support both heavy-duty and fine-detail machining.
