MAPLE M-40 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical spindle CNC machining center features a robust 3-axis configuration with substantial travel capabilities: 55.12 inches on the X-axis, 27.56 inches on the Y-axis, and 24.41 inches on the Z-axis, providing an expansive machining envelope for complex part production. The machine is equipped with a BT50 spindle taper operating at 6,000 RPM, delivering consistent power for both roughing and finishing operations across a variety of materials including aluminum, steel, titanium, and composites. The work surface comprises a spacious table measuring 59.06 inches in length and 27.56 inches in width, accommodating larger workpieces while maintaining rigidity and thermal stability essential for precision machining. The 24-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) enables rapid tool changes and extended unattended operation, significantly improving productivity and reducing cycle times. The CNC control system interprets programmed G-code instructions to execute precise movements with high repeatability, featuring digital interfaces compatible with modern CAM software for optimized machining strategies. The machine's solid construction utilizes vibration-damping materials and precision linear guides with ball screws to achieve tight positional tolerances. Standard accessories typically include coolant systems, tool setters, and workholding solutions. This mid-range machining center suits job shops, prototype development, and small-to-medium production runs requiring versatility and dependable performance without excessive capital investment.
