HURON VX 12 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Huron VX12 is a compact 3-axis vertical machining center designed for precision milling, drilling, boring, and tapping operations in tooling and small to medium-series production. It features a rigid C-frame structure with side supports and optimized cast-iron ribbed construction that provides exceptional dynamic stability and vibration damping for consistent accuracy. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 2,500 kg and delivers rapid traverse rates of 24 m/min across all axes (X, Y, Z), with working feeds of 10 m/min. The 10,000 rpm direct-drive spindle generates 14.3 kW of power and 68 Nm of torque, enabling both roughing and finishing operations with high chip removal capacity. Linear axes are equipped with ceramic roller bearings and recirculating guide rails for temperature stability and smooth operation. The machine includes an automatic tool changer with 24-40 tool pockets (ISO 40/BT 40 taper), capable of tool changes in 2.4-7 seconds. The welded steel table measures 1,400 x 630 mm with T-slot grooves (15 x 125 x 5 mm) and supports loads up to 1,200 kg. Control options include Siemens 810D or Heidenhain TNC 620 CNC systems. With positioning accuracy of 0.01 mm and outstanding geometric stability, the VX12 delivers excellent contouring precision and profiles. The machine's modular design allows flexible configuration to meet specific customer requirements, making it an ideal investment for precision machining operations requiring reliability and excellent profitability.
