Komatsu NTC Z3V VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a rigid 3-axis configuration with travels of 15.7" (X), 13.7" (Y), and 13.7" (Z), supported by a table sized 25.2" by 17.7" capable of holding up to 550 lbs. The vertical spindle utilizes a #30 taper and delivers up to 12,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 15,000 RPM, powered by a 5 HP motor rated for 30-minute intervals, enabling high-speed machining operations. The tool system includes a 16-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) with efficient tool change times of 1.8 seconds and chip-to-chip times of 2.9 seconds, optimizing production throughput. Maximum feed rates reach 394 inches per minute on all axes, with rapid traverse speeds up to 1,968 inches per minute, ensuring quick positioning and cycling. The configuration lacks a U axis, focusing on fundamental XYZ machining for precision milling tasks. This machine is designed for versatile use in small to medium-sized workpieces, offering a balance of speed, power, and tool capacity suitable for mold making, die components, and general CNC vertical milling applications where compactness and efficiency are key. The combination of high spindle speeds, moderate power, and a quick-change tool carousel supports detailed, accurate machining with reliable repeatability and positioning. Overall, it delivers a capable platform for vertical milling operations requiring precision and moderate load capacity within a tightly controlled workspace envelope.
