Expand Machinery VMC-2216 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust table/work support with dimensions of 24.000 inches in length and 14.560 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 700 lbs. The spindle is vertically oriented and equipped with a BT-40 taper, with an optional CAT-40 taper for enhanced tool compatibility. Spindle speeds range up to 8,000 RPM as standard, with an optional maximum of 12,000 RPM, and the spindle delivers 10.00 HP (30-minute rating) for high-performance cutting. Tooling is managed by an ATC carousel, accommodating 10 tools as standard and up to 16 tools as an option, with rapid tool change times of 8 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 10 seconds for efficient operation. The machine operates on 3 axes (X, Y, Z), with travel distances of 22.000 inches on the X-axis, 15.750 inches on the Y-axis, and 19.680 inches on the Z-axis. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are both 394 inches per minute for X and Y axes, and 787 inches per minute for all axes, ensuring fast and precise movement during machining operations. This configuration is ideal for a wide range of milling applications, providing high accuracy, repeatability, and versatility for both prototyping and production environments.
