LCA AUTOMATION FB 2500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 98" × 63" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,500 lbs, providing substantial capacity for heavy-duty production work. The machine is equipped with an HSK 63-A spindle taper, the industry standard for high-precision applications, with a standard top speed of 9,500 RPM and an optional upgrade to 22,000 RPM for high-speed finishing operations. The spindle delivers 44 HP at the 30-minute rating, enabling aggressive material removal across diverse applications. The three-axis configuration (X, Y, Z) provides 98", 63", and 11" of travel respectively, with impressive rapid traverse rates of 768 IPM on all axes, ensuring efficient cycle times and reduced non-cutting time. An optional fourth axis is available for complex multi-sided machining. The automatic tool changer (ATC) accommodates six tools standard, expandable to 24 tools, with a 15-second tool change time, maximizing productivity in production environments. The machine's rigid construction and HSK 63-A interface support precise, vibration-free machining while maintaining tight tolerances. Maximum feed rates of 768 IPM across all linear axes facilitate both rapid positioning and controlled cutting operations. This mid-range VMC combines substantial workpiece capacity with respectable spindle performance and tooling flexibility, making it well-suited for small-to-medium job shops and production facilities requiring dependable, general-purpose vertical milling capabilities with room for speed optimization through available upgrades.
