2021 DOOSAN VM960 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2021 Doosan VM960 is a 3-axis die and mold vertical machining center designed for large-scale mold cavities, heavy tooling plates, and oversized industrial components. The machine provides 78.7 inches of X-axis travel, 37.8 inches in Y, and 31.5 inches in Z over a work table measuring 94.5 x 37.4 inches with a maximum table load of 8,818 lbs (4,000 kg). The ISO 50 gear-drive spindle delivers 20 HP continuous (25 HP peak) at up to 6,000 RPM and 698.8 Nm of torque, providing the cutting force required for aggressive material removal in hardened P20, H13, and D2 tool steels. A built-in 12,000 RPM motorized spindle is available as an option for high-speed finishing applications. The Fanuc 31i-A CNC control is standard, with Siemens 840D sl and Heidenhain iTNC 530 available as options. A 30-tool ATC (expandable to 40) and through-spindle coolant enable extended unmanned production cycles for large mold components. The VM960's thermally balanced casting, oversized guideways, and heavy-duty ballscrews maintain micron-level positioning accuracy over extended cutting programs in heavy materials. The VM960 is one of the most widely deployed machines in the Doosan die and mold VMC lineup, valued for its combination of large work envelope and proven structural rigidity. The machine occupies a footprint of approximately 202.3 x 252.0 inches, stands 139.6 inches tall, and weighs approximately 44,092 lbs (20,000 kg).
