Technical Description
This CNC vertical machining center features a substantial work table measuring 64.9 inches in length by 25.4 inches in width, capable of supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 4,850 lbs. It operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 57.09", 27.5", and 27.5", respectively, and rapid traverse rates up to 708 inches per minute. The machine's spindle is vertical with a CT-50 taper, optimized for heavy-duty cutting applications, running at a top speed of 4,500 RPM with an optional upgrade to 6,000 RPM, powered by a 20 HP motor rated for 30 minutes with an optional 25 HP upgrade. The tool handling system includes an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 24 tools, expandable to 40, allowing for efficient multi-tool machining cycles. Tool change times are rapid, approximately 3 seconds, with a total chip-to-chip time of 4 seconds, enhancing production throughput. The spindle taper CT-50 is designed for high rigidity and stability, suitable for machining large, heavy workpieces requiring precision and strength. The feed rate for each axis is rated at 197 inches per minute, allowing precise control over material removal rates. This machine is suitable for complex milling operations on a variety of materials, including metals and heavy-duty industrial components, balancing power, precision, and tool versatility for a broad range of manufacturing applications.
