Cubic VB-1000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 47.2" x 20" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,760 lbs, providing ample capacity for a wide range of machining applications. The machine is equipped with a vertical CAT 40 spindle, delivering a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM and 14.7 HP (30-minute rating), ensuring high performance for both heavy-duty and precision cutting tasks. An optional index or rotary table can be added for enhanced versatility in complex part setups. Tool management is handled by a 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC) with a rapid 1.8-second tool change time, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), each offering 39.4", 24", and 24" of travel respectively, with a maximum feed rate of 196 IPM and rapid traverse speeds of 787 IPM on all axes, enabling fast and accurate positioning for efficient machining cycles. The absence of a U axis and pallet changer keeps the configuration focused on core milling operations, while the high-speed spindle and responsive axis movements ensure consistent accuracy and surface finish across diverse materials. This vertical machining center is ideal for shops requiring reliable, high-throughput performance in general machining, mold making, and production environments.
