BROTHER R450X1 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC machining center features a work envelope of 17.7" (X travel) by 12.6" (Y travel) and a Z-axis travel of 12", allowing for versatile 3-axis machining. The machine supports a table size of 23.6" length and 11.8" width with a maximum load capacity of 265 lbs, providing a stable platform for varied workpieces. It incorporates a 16,000 RPM spindle motor delivering 6.5 HP, coupled with a BT30 taper spindle interface, optimized for precision and high-speed operations typical in finer milling applications. The spindle-to-table distance ranges from 7.9" to 19.9", facilitating flexible machining heights. Tool changing efficiency is enhanced by an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a capacity of 22 tools, featuring rapid tool-to-tool and chip-to-chip change times of 0.8 and 1.6 seconds, respectively. Feedrates are robust, with rapid traverse speeds in X, Y, and Z axes of up to 1969 inches per minute (IPM) and cutting feedrates up to 1181 IPM, supporting high productivity. The BT30 taper design, characterized by a 7/24 taper angle, ensures precise tool engagement, stability at high spindle speeds, and rapid tool changes, critical for maintaining machining accuracy and efficiency. This configuration balances rigidity, speed, and precision, making it suitable for detailed and moderate-duty milling tasks requiring a combination of size flexibility and rapid production capability.
