HITACHI SEIKI VK45 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust 3-axis design with X, Y, and Z travels of 30, 18, and 18 inches respectively, providing a versatile workspace for varied machining tasks. It is powered by a 10.1 HP spindle motor capable of reaching a maximum rotational speed of 6,000 RPM, suitable for moderate to heavy cutting operations. The machine is equipped with an automated tool changer (ATC) holding up to 30 tools, enabling efficient tool switching for complex or multi-step machining processes. The worktable measures 19 inches in width and 35 inches in length, accommodating sizable workpieces and ensuring stable fixture mounting. This combination of travel range, spindle power, and tool capacity supports a wide range of materials and part complexities, from prototype machining to small-batch production runs. The machine’s mechanical structure, including the table and axis capabilities, ensures precision positioning and repeatability inherent to CNC milling operations. Its power and speed specifications strike a balance between cutting force and surface finish quality, suitable for applications in aerospace, automotive, mold making, and general manufacturing sectors requiring 3D contouring, slotting, pocketing, and face milling operations.
