Technical Description
This vertical CNC machining center features a robust 40 Taper BIG-PLUS spindle with a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM, optionally upgradeable to 15,000 RPM, delivering 25 to 30 horsepower (30-min rating). The spindle’s BIG-PLUS dual contact system ensures simultaneous taper and flange face engagement, significantly increasing toolholder rigidity, improving surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and tool life, while controlling Z-axial movement at high speeds. The machine is equipped with a 3-axis configuration (X, Y, Z) providing travels of 43.3", 24.0", and 23.6" respectively, with rapid traverse rates up to 1,417 ipm on all axes, enabling high-speed machining with precision positioning.
The worktable measures 47.2" by 23.6" and supports workpieces up to 3,300 lbs, accommodating heavy and large components. Tooling is managed via an automatic tool changer (ATC) dual swing arm capable of holding 30 tools, expandable to 50 tools as an option, with rapid tool change times of 1.90 seconds, optimizing production efficiency. Although pallet changers and rotary table supports are optional, their integration can enhance flexibility for complex jobs.
This machine is designed for demanding industrial milling applications requiring high rigidity, precision, and robust power delivery, supported by a precise feed system, and the enhanced machining stability afforded by the BIG-PLUS spindle technology, making it suitable for aerospace, automotive, and mold manufacturing sectors.
