+GF+ MIKRON VCP 1000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The +GF+ Mikron VCP 1000 Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance 3-axis CNC machine designed for precise and efficient machining of medium to large workpieces. It features a robust work table measuring 51.18 inches by 23.62 inches (1150 mm x 600 mm), capable of supporting up to 3,520 lbs (1,600 kg). Optional support for index and rotary tables enhances versatility for complex setups. The vertical spindle utilizes an HSK 42 taper, with an optional upgrade to HSK A63, delivering speeds up to 12,000 RPM as standard, with an optional high-speed spindle achieve 20,000 RPM. The spindle motor power is rated at 20 HP (30-minute rating) with an option for 21 HP to handle demanding cutting tasks effectively. Tool handling is facilitated by a 30-position automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable to 36 tools, with a rapid tool change time of approximately 4 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 7 seconds, optimizing cycle times. The machine supports an optional pallet changer with up to two pallets for increased production flexibility. Axis travels are 39.3 inches (X), 25.59 inches (Y), and 19.69 inches (Z) with max feed rates of 786 inches/min and rapid traverse speeds up to 1,179 inches/min, ensuring swift and precise positioning. Constructed with a heavy-duty polymer concrete base for vibration dampening and rigidity, the VCP 1000 offers high accuracy and surface finish quality, suitable for mold making and hard metal machining. Advanced features like linear glass scale measurement and high precision recirculating ballscrews provide robust performance for critical manufacturing applications.
