Expand Machinery VMC-1814 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust table/work support with a size of 20.870 inches (L) by 12.600 inches (W), capable of supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 616 lbs. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a BT-40 taper, with an optional CAT-40 taper for enhanced tool compatibility. The spindle delivers a top speed of 8,000 RPM and a 30-minute power rating of 10.00 HP, ensuring efficient and precise material removal for a variety of applications. Tooling is managed via an ATC carousel, supporting 10 standard tools with an optional expansion to 16 tools, and a rapid tool change time of 6 seconds, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), with travel distances of 17.720 inches (X), 12.400 inches (Y), and 15.740 inches (Z). Each axis offers a maximum feed rate of 394 inches per minute and a rapid traverse speed of 787 inches per minute, enabling swift and accurate positioning for complex machining tasks. The absence of a U axis indicates a standard 3-axis configuration, suitable for most milling operations. This machine is designed for high precision, reliability, and versatility, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial and manufacturing environments.
