LCA Automation FB 6000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The LCA Automation FB 6000 is a robust vertical machining center engineered for high-performance production work. This machine features a spacious work envelope with 236" x 63" table dimensions and accommodates workpieces up to 10,800 lbs, making it suitable for large-scale component manufacturing. The machine utilizes a vertical HSK 63-A spindle configuration with a standard operating speed of 9,500 RPM, scalable to an optional 22,000 RPM for high-speed finishing operations. With a powerful 44 HP spindle motor (30-minute rated), the FB 6000 delivers exceptional cutting capacity across ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The three-axis platform (expandable to four axes with optional W-axis) provides 236" X-travel, 63" Y-travel, and 11" Z-travel, each capable of 768 ipm rapid traverse rates. The automatic tool changer (ATC) is configured with six standard tool positions, expandable to 24 positions, and features a rapid 15-second tool change cycle. All three axes utilize precision ball screws with advanced preloading technology to minimize thermal deformation and ensure consistent positioning accuracy across extended machining operations. The machine's closed-frame design with dual supporting columns delivers superior structural rigidity and torsional stiffness, critical for maintaining tolerance control during heavy cutting applications. Advanced CNC control integration and optional rotary table functionality enable complex multi-axis machining sequences, making the FB 6000 an ideal solution for aerospace, automotive, and industrial component production requiring both precision and high throughput in demanding manufacturing environments.
