HAAS MDC-500 CNC VMC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a work envelope of 20" x 14" x 20" (X, Y, Z travels respectively), providing versatile machining capacity for medium-sized parts. It is equipped with a CAT 40 spindle taper compatible with a 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC), enabling quick tool swaps for efficient multi-tool operations. The spindle powers up to 20 HP or 15 HP with a maximum rotational speed of 10,000 RPM, suitable for a wide range of milling and drilling applications. The machine table measures 20" in length and 12.75" in width, supporting a maximum load capacity of 700 lbs, ensuring robust workpiece stability during machining. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 130" length, 134" width, and 113" height, with a substantial machine weight of about 16,000 lbs, indicating a rigid and stable frame for precision machining. This combination of axis travels, spindle power, and tool capacity makes the machine well-suited for machining tasks requiring precision and versatility, including die, mold, and smaller aerospace parts. The CAT 40 taper provides a balance of rigidity and versatility common in many industrial CNC machines, enabling compatibility with a broad range of tooling.
