Cubic VB-1600 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 67.000 inches in length by 31.500 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,400 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining applications. An optional index or rotary table can be added for enhanced versatility. The vertical spindle utilizes a CAT 40 taper and delivers a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, powered by a 14.7 HP motor (30-minute rating), ensuring reliable performance for a wide range of materials and operations. Tooling is managed by a 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC) with a rapid tool change time of just 1.8 seconds, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travel distances of 59.000 inches (X), 31.900 inches (Y), and 27.600 inches (Z). All axes support a maximum feed rate of 196 inches per minute and a rapid traverse rate of 787 inches per minute, enabling fast and precise movements for efficient machining cycles. The absence of a U axis and pallet changer keeps the configuration focused on core milling tasks, while the high-speed ATC and robust spindle provide a balance of speed, power, and accuracy for demanding production environments.
