Breton MATRIX 1000K45/2T VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This 5-axis vertical machining center features a large worktable measuring 197.0" (L) x 98.4" (W), suitable for handling substantial workpieces with precision. The spindle is vertically oriented and equipped with an HSK63A taper, with an optional HSK40E taper, supporting high-speed machining applications. The spindle achieves a top speed of 28,000 RPM, with an alternative configuration offering 18,000 RPM, driven by a 27 HP motor standard (30-minute rating) and an optional 54 HP motor for enhanced power. Tool handling is managed via a 30-position automatic tool changer (ATC) with a wheel-type tool carrier, facilitating efficient tool changes and versatility in machining operations. The machine offers extensive axis travels including 177.0" on the Y-axis, 39.4" along the Z-axis, and rotational capabilities of 210 degrees around the A-axis. This configuration supports complex 5-axis machining, although a 3-axis option is available with no provision for a U-axis. The rapid traverse and feed rates accommodate high productivity, tailored to large and precision industrial machining tasks. The combination of a high-speed, high-power spindle, large work area, and multi-axis control makes this vertical machining center suitable for aerospace, automotive, mold making, and heavy equipment manufacturing, requiring precision milling, drilling, tapping, and boring operations under demanding conditions.
