CUBIC HV-800A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 31.5 inches in length by 23.6 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 770 lbs. An optional index or rotary table can be added for enhanced flexibility in complex setups. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle using a CAT 40 taper, delivering a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 12,000 RPM. The spindle motor provides 10 HP (30-minute rating), with an optional 15 HP configuration for demanding applications. Tooling is managed by an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a 24-tool capacity, enabling rapid tool changes in just 1.5 seconds, while chip-to-chip change time is 4.5 seconds. A standard pallet changer with two pallets increases productivity for high-volume or unattended operations. The machine operates on three linear axes (X, Y, Z), with X-axis travel of 31.5 inches, Y-axis travel of 15.8 inches, and Z-axis travel of 17.7 inches. Maximum feed rates are 400 ipm, and rapid traverse rates reach 1,890 ipm across all axes, ensuring efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. This configuration is ideal for precision machining of medium to large workpieces in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making, where accuracy, speed, and reliability are critical.
