Chevalier Machinery, Inc. UNI5X-800 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table/work support system capable of handling a maximum workpiece weight of 2,866 lbs, ideal for heavy-duty machining applications. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing an HSK-A63 taper, with the option for CT Big Plus taper compatibility, ensuring high rigidity and precision during operation. The spindle delivers a top speed of 18,000 RPM and a 30-minute power rating of 34.00 HP, supporting demanding cutting tasks with efficiency and accuracy. The tooling system employs a flat-type tool carrier with a 32-tool capacity, facilitating versatile tool changes and extended unattended operation. The machine does not include a pallet changer, support index table, or support rotary table, focusing on core 5-axis machining capabilities. The five-axis configuration includes X, Y, Z, and A axes, with travel distances of 31.500" (X), 41.300" (Y, with an optional 35.400"), 25.600" (Z), and 120.000° (A). Maximum feed rates across X, Y, and Z axes are 590 ipm, while rapid traverse rates reach 1,889 ipm, enabling swift and precise movements for complex part geometries. This machining center is designed for high-performance, multi-axis milling operations, offering reliability and flexibility for a wide range of industrial applications.
