Technical Description
This vertical machining center features a worktable measuring 47.2 inches by 21.6 inches capable of supporting up to 1,764 lbs, enabling robust handling of heavy workpieces. It operates with a vertical spindle equipped with an NT #40 Big Plus taper, delivering a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM, with an optional 8,000 RPM setting. The spindle is powered by a 20 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, providing substantial cutting power. The machine incorporates a 30-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), achieving a tool change time of 1.5 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 3.8 seconds, enhancing productivity in multi-tool operations. The system supports three linear axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 43.3", 21.7", and 20.5" respectively, all capable of maximum feed rates of 394 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds up to 1,415 inches per minute, facilitating fast, precise positioning and efficient material removal. Designed without a U-axis, it focuses on robust 3-axis machining tasks. Optional pallet changing enhances workflow automation. Overall, this machine combines heavy-duty work capacity, a powerful spindle, rapid tool changes, and precise axis movements, making it suitable for high-efficiency milling, drilling, and machining of large, heavy parts in various industrial applications.
