Cubic VL-1200 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **51.1" x 22.8" rectangular worktable** with a maximum workpiece load capacity of **2,200 lbs**, supporting heavy-duty machining tasks. It is equipped with a **CAT 40 spindle taper**, operating vertically, capable of a top speed of **10,000 RPM** driven by a **14.7 HP motor** rated for 30 minutes. The machine operates on a **3-axis system (X, Y, Z)** with travels of **47.0" (X), 23.6" (Y), and 24.0" (Z)**. Maximum feed rates for all axes are **393 inches/min**, with rapid traverse speeds of **944 inches/min**, enabling efficient material removal and positioning. Tooling is handled by a **24-station automatic tool changer (ATC)** with a rapid tool change time of approximately **2.5 seconds**, although pallet changers and additional rotary or support tables are available as optional accessories. This configuration supports flexible, medium-to-heavy machining applications with a good balance between spindle power, speed, and large workpiece capacity, ideal for various precision vertical milling operations. Its vertical orientation and CAT 40 tooling system support a wide variety of tooling options for versatility in machining complex components. The machine is suitable for high productivity manufacturing environments requiring robust table capacity, fast tool changes, and stable high-speed spindle performance. Optional rotary or support tables permit enhanced multi-fixture or multi-axis operations as needed.
