Technical Description
This vertical 3-axis CNC machining center features a robust 27.5" x 15.7" worktable capable of supporting up to 1,000 lbs, making it suitable for medium to large workpieces. The spindle is vertically oriented with a #30 taper, delivering 7.5 HP at a 30-minute rating and achieving a top speed of 8,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 12,000 RPM for high-speed machining applications. The toolchanger is an automatic tool changer (ATC) housing 20 tools, with a rapid tool change time of 1.6 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 3.2 seconds, optimizing productivity.
The machine operates along three linear axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 19.7", 15.7", and 13.8" respectively. Each axis supports a maximum feed rate of 394 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds up to 1,890 inches per minute, providing efficient material removal rates and cycle times. The spindle taper #30 indicates compatibility with a wide range of tooling commonly used in vertical mills.
This configuration supports precision milling applications where a blend of power, speed, and versatile tooling is key. The 3-axis setup allows for milling, drilling, and cutting operations, suitable for materials such as steel, aluminum, and composites. The machine is compact yet capable, ideal for tooling, die work, and aerospace components requiring precise machining within the specified work envelope. Its design balances rigidity, speed, and automation for reliable high-volume production or prototyping environments.
