LIGHT - INTELITEK BENCHMAN MX VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a work table measuring 19.5 inches in length and 6.25 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 150 lbs. The machine operates with a vertical spindle having a straight taper, delivering spindle speeds up to 5,000 RPM as standard, with an optional high-speed spindle reaching 45,000 RPM. The spindle motor provides 1.00 HP under a 30-minute rating, upgradeable to 2.66 HP for enhanced power. Tooling is managed via an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a 20-tool capacity, enabling efficient tool swaps with negligible chip time. The machine offers three standard linear axes (X, Y, Z) with travel limits of 12 inches (extendable to 18 inches) for X, 7 inches for Y, and 9.5 inches for Z. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse rates are 200 inches per minute in each axis, ensuring rapid and precise material removal. While equipped with three axes as standard, a four-axis option is available for added versatility, though no U axis is provided. This configuration is optimized for medium-sized parts requiring moderate to high-speed machining with efficient tool handling. The vertical spindle orientation and ATC support milling tasks that demand accuracy and productivity. The system is suitable for machining various materials and complex geometries, supported by its blend of spindle speed options, power, and axis travels, enabling adaptability for diverse CNC milling applications.
