Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust table measuring 39.4 inches in length by 19.7 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,100 lbs. Optional support index and rotary tables enhance versatility for complex machining operations. The vertical spindle is equipped with a BT 40 taper, with CAT 40 as an optional configuration, supporting a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 RPM (10,000 RPM optional) and delivering 15 HP at a 30-minute rating for sustained performance. Tooling is managed via an automatic tool changer (ATC), available in Genoa or Arm style, accommodating 16 tools standard and up to 24 tools as an option. A pallet changer is available for increased productivity. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travel distances of 33.5 inches (X), 20 inches (Y), and 22 inches (Z). Maximum feed rates reach 394 inches per minute across all axes, with rapid traverse speeds of 1,416 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and precise positioning. This configuration is ideal for high-precision milling of large and heavy workpieces, suitable for a wide range of industrial applications including mold making, aerospace, and general machining.
