2007 KOMO VMC50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2007 Komo VMC50 is a 3-axis large-format traveling-column vertical machining center designed for high-volume routing and machining of aluminum panels, aerospace structural components, and large non-ferrous fabrications. The traveling-column design moves the spindle along the full length of a fixed worktable measuring 32 by 120 inches (VMC50/120) or longer depending on the selected table configuration, providing access to workpieces that would be impractical to fixture on conventional VMC platforms. X-axis travel spans 118 inches or more, with Y-axis travel of approximately 36 inches and Z-axis travel of 32 inches, enabling machining of large-format structural parts in a single setup. The CAT-50 spindle taper accommodates large-diameter tooling for aggressive face milling and drilling operations, with spindle speed reaching 3,500 RPM and power output in the 25 to 30 HP range. The Fanuc CNC control provides standard G-code programming, canned cycles, and DNC networking capability. Rapid traverse rates of 600 IPM minimize non-cut time across the large machining envelope. Machine weight is approximately 54,700 lbs for the standard configuration, reflecting the substantial cast iron and steel structure required for accuracy at large scale. The VMC50 is well suited for aerospace panel shops, defense manufacturers, and heavy equipment fabricators requiring large-format, high-rigidity aluminum machining capability.
