First MCV-600 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a work table sized 39.4" long by 18" wide, supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 2,000 lbs. It is equipped with a vertical spindle having a CAT40 taper and a peak speed of 8,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 12,000 RPM. The spindle is powered by a 15 HP motor rated for 30-minute operation, ensuring robust cutting performance suitable for a wide variety of materials and machining applications. The machine employs an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a capacity for 18 tools, enabling efficient tool transitions with a change time of 6 seconds and an overall chip-to-chip time of 11 seconds. It is configured with 3 axes—X, Y, and Z—with travel distances of 24.0", 19.7", and 20.0" respectively, each capable of feed rates up to 315 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds of 945 inches per minute, providing high-speed precision motion control. The CAT40 taper spindle offers a balance of rigidity and versatility suitable for milling operations, with a standard taper angle of 7/24. This machine is suitable for medium to heavy-duty machining tasks, including complex contouring and milling for various metal and plastic components. The combination of high spindle power, fast tool changing, and ample work envelope makes it ideal for job shop and production environments requiring reliable, high-throughput CNC milling capabilities. Optional features may include a fourth axis for enhanced machining flexibility.
