Cubic VL-1000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a 43.3" × 20" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,760 lbs, with optional index and rotary table configurations for enhanced versatility. The machine is equipped with a CAT 40 spindle taper operating at a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM and delivering 14.70 HP continuous output, suitable for precision cutting operations on various materials. The three-axis design provides substantial working envelope with 39.4" X-axis travel, 20" Y-axis travel, and 24" Z-axis travel, enabling machining of complex geometries and larger components. The automatic tool changer accommodates 24 tools with rapid 2.5-second tool change cycles, minimizing production downtime and improving overall throughput. All axes achieve impressive rapid traverse rates of 944 IPM on X and Y axes and support programmed feed rates up to 393 IPM, delivering both speed and flexibility for diverse machining applications. The machine's rigid construction and CAT 40 spindle system ensure consistent accuracy and repeatability across production runs. With its combination of substantial table capacity, high spindle power, extended travel capabilities, and rapid tooling system, this vertical machining center is well-suited for job shop environments and small-to-medium production runs requiring precision metalworking, die and mold manufacturing, and general purpose machining across industries including aerospace, automotive, and tool and die.
