Technical Description
This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 9.8 inches in length and width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 440 lbs, with optional index and rotary table support for enhanced versatility. The spindle is vertically oriented and compatible with CAT, BT, and DIN 40 tapers, with BT #40 as the standard option, delivering a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM and a 30-minute horsepower rating of 18. Tooling is managed by a swing arm automatic tool changer (ATC) with a capacity of 40 tools, achieving a tool change time of 3 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 7 seconds. The machine operates on five axes (X, Y, Z, A), with X-axis travel of 30 inches, Y-axis travel of 20 inches, and Z-axis travel of 20.5 inches, allowing for extensive part coverage and complex machining operations. Maximum feed rates are 900 inches per minute across all linear axes, while rapid traverse reaches 1,260 inches per minute, ensuring high-speed performance and productivity. The A-axis provides 140 degrees of rotation for advanced multi-sided machining. This machining center is designed for precision, speed, and flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including milling, drilling, tapping, and die/mold work, with the ability to handle both small and medium-sized workpieces efficiently.
