GEN MILL 5X-24 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The GEN MILL 5X-24 Vertical Machining Center is a high-speed, full 5-axis CNC machining solution designed for precision and productivity. It features a robust traveling column structure with a rotary tilt-table design, providing X, Y, and Z axis travels of 24.41 inches, 20.47 inches, and 18.11 inches, respectively. The machine is equipped with a 15,000 RPM inline direct-drive beltless “Big-Plus” spindle, delivering high torque and accuracy for demanding applications. The spindle supports CAT #40 taper tools, with optional BT #40 and HSK-63 configurations, and is paired with a 60-tool high-speed twin-arm automatic tool changer for rapid tool exchange and minimal downtime. Precision glass-scale feedback is integrated on all linear and rotary axes (X, Y, Z, B, and C), ensuring exceptional repeatability and positioning accuracy. The machine utilizes a roller-bearing style heavy-duty linear way system on all axes for smooth, stable movement and long-term durability. Rapid traverse rates reach up to 1,417 IPM on the X and Y axes, enabling fast production cycles. The GEN MILL 5X-24 is powered by an 18.6 kW spindle motor, providing ample power for heavy-duty cutting and high-speed operations. The machine’s Ø 25.6” worm-gear driven tilting rotary table supports complex 5-axis machining, while the overall design emphasizes rigidity and thermal stability. With a total machine weight of 21,384 lbs, the GEN MILL 5X-24 is built for heavy workloads and continuous operation in demanding manufacturing environments.
