JUPITER VMC-3420 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The JUPITER VMC-3420 is a robust three-axis CNC vertical machining center engineered for versatile production and job shop applications. This machine delivers substantial cutting power with a 44-horsepower spindle operating at 12,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The CAT-40 taper spindle accommodates a comprehensive range of standard tooling, while the 30-station automatic tool changer minimizes setup time and maximizes productivity through rapid tool-to-tool transitions. The VMC-3420 features generous travel distances with 33 inches of X-axis, 19 inches of Y-axis, and 20 inches of Z-axis movement, providing substantial machining envelope flexibility. The work table measures 17 by 39 inches, accommodating medium to large workpieces typical in aerospace, automotive, and die-mold industries. The rigid three-axis configuration delivers precise positioning and repeatability essential for complex milling operations including pocketing, drilling, threading, and contour machining. Built with solid cast iron construction and precision linear guides, the machine provides the structural rigidity necessary for sustained heavy-duty machining without sacrificing accuracy. The integrated CNC control system enables multi-axis coordination, allowing sophisticated toolpath programming for intricate part geometries. Standard features typically include coolant circulation systems, automatic lubrication, splash guards, and manual programming accessibility via USB, CF Card, or ethernet interfaces. This configuration makes the JUPITER VMC-3420 an economical choice for manufacturers seeking dependable, high-performance vertical machining capability with straightforward operation and maintenance.
