Benchman MX VMC CNC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a compact footprint with overall dimensions of 36" x 36" x 60" and a work table measuring 19.5" by 6.25". It offers a travel range of 12" along the X-axis, 7" along the Y-axis, and 9.5" along the Z-axis, providing adequate workspace for versatile machining applications. The spindle supports speeds ranging from 5,000 to 30,000 RPM, accommodating a wide variety of materials and finishes, and it utilizes an ER-16 taper for secure tool holding. The automatic tool changer can house up to 10 tools, with each tool having a maximum diameter of 3/8", length of 1.5", and weight of up to 1 pound. Precision is ensured by a positioning accuracy of ±0.0002" and repeatability of ±0.0001", supported by AC servo motor-driven axes and the Benchman MX CNC control system. The machine achieves rapid traverse rates of up to 600 inches per minute and variable cutting feed rates from 0.1 to 200 inches per minute to optimize machining based on material and tool. An air-cooled spindle maintains thermal stability, while an automatic and programmable lubrication system enhances reliability and maintenance ease. Safety is prioritized with a fully enclosed work area and an emergency stop button for immediate shutdown. Operating on single-phase 110V power, the 500 lbs machine integrates seamlessly with standard G-code and M-code software, ensuring compatibility with common CNC programming protocols. This combination of precision, performance, and safety makes it suitable for detailed, high-quality machining in a compact benchtop format.
