2009 DOOSAN VC400 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2009 Doosan VC400 is a 3-axis twin-pallet vertical machining center designed for high-efficiency small-part production. The machine features two pallets approximately 400 x 450 mm (15.7 x 17.7 inches) each, enabling continuous spindle operation by allowing simultaneous machining on one pallet while the second is being loaded. Axis travels measure 22.0 inches in X, 15.7 inches in Y, and 22.4 inches in Z. The CAT 40 spindle delivers approximately 25 HP at up to 12,000 RPM, controlled by a Fanuc 18i-MA or Fanuc 0i-MD CNC system depending on build year. Rapid traverse rates of 40 m/min on X and Y and 32 m/min on Z enable fast inter-cycle repositioning. The VC400 is the predecessor to the VC430 and was designed for precision automotive, hydraulic, and aerospace component production where cell-based manufacturing with minimal operator intervention is required. The twin-pallet design maximizes spindle utilization and reduces overall cost-per-part in high-volume production environments. CAT 40 tooling compatibility provides broad access to standard toolholding systems. Flood coolant is standard on all configurations. The VC400 represents an earlier generation of Doosan's pallet-change VMC philosophy and is available with a total installed weight of approximately 17,000 lbs (7,700 kg).
