BELDEN MACHINE T-1000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a compact 16" × 14" work table with optional rotary indexing capability, designed for versatile production work. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a 1/2" hex taper, delivering maximum spindle speeds of 2,000 RPM with a standard 5 HP motor and optional 8 HP configuration for enhanced cutting capacity. The tooling system incorporates a quick-change tool carrier with standard capacity of 12 tools, expandable to 40 tools for extended production runs without tool changeover interruptions. Three-axis CNC control provides simultaneous X, Y, and Z-axis positioning with rapid traverse rates of 235 IPM across all axes. Travel ranges include 13.5" in the X-axis, 9.75" in the Y-axis, and standard 8" Z-axis travel with optional 16" extension for taller workpieces. Maximum feed rates of 45 IPM on all axes enable efficient material removal across various applications. The machine accommodates components requiring multi-directional milling, boring, drilling, and tapping operations. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for job shops, tool and die facilities, and small-to-medium manufacturing operations requiring precision CNC machining capabilities. The 1/2" hex spindle taper and quick-change tooling system facilitate rapid tool transitions, minimizing non-productive machine time and maximizing operational efficiency for both production and prototype work.
