Technical Description
This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 31.5 x 31.5 inches, capable of supporting workpieces up to 2,646 lbs, making it ideal for heavy-duty and precision machining applications. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle featuring a standard CAT 40 taper, with an optional CAT 50 taper for enhanced rigidity and tooling flexibility. Spindle speeds reach up to 14,000 rpm (optional 18,000 rpm), delivering high performance for a wide range of materials and operations. The spindle is powered by a 25 HP (30-minute rating) motor, with an optional 20 HP configuration for specific requirements. Tool management is handled by an automatic tool changer (ATC) supporting up to 40 tools (expandable to 117), with a rapid tool change time of 3 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 9 seconds, ensuring efficient production cycles. The machine offers 5-axis capability, with X, Y, and Z travels of 47.24", 43.30", and 25.59" respectively, and an A-axis rotation of 150°, enabling complex multi-sided machining. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are 1,417 ipm and 1,260 ipm across all linear axes, providing fast and accurate movement for high-productivity environments. The machining center does not include a support index or rotary table, nor a pallet changer, focusing on versatility and precision for demanding industrial applications such as mold making, die machining, and complex part production.
