Dalian VDL 800 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a rigid work table measuring 35.4 inches in length and 16.5 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,100 lbs. It operates with a vertical spindle equipped with a BT 40 taper interface, with an optional CAT 40 taper, delivering a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 RPM, upgradeable to 10,000 RPM. The spindle is powered by a 12 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty cycles, providing robust performance for medium to heavy milling tasks. Tool management is handled by a 24-position automatic tool changer (ATC) using a swing arm mechanism, allowing rapid tool changes in 3 seconds and chip-to-chip times of 7 seconds, optimizing productivity. The machine supports 3 linear axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 31.5", 16.5", and 20.4" respectively, each with high feed and rapid traverse rates of 1,181 inches per minute, ensuring fast and precise machining movements. This configuration is suitable for diverse milling applications ranging from mold making to aerospace component production, capable of handling a wide range of materials with high precision. The machine’s features support efficient machining workflows, combining heavy workpiece capacity, versatile tooling, and fast axis feed rates in a compact footprint. Overall, it delivers a balance of power, speed, and flexibility, making it well-suited for complex 3-axis milling operations in industrial environments.
