Technical Description
This CNC vertical machining center features a 51.0" x 23.6" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,500 lbs, with optional support for index and rotary tables. It operates on a 3-axis configuration with travels of 40" (X), 24" (Y), and 27.5" (Z), each axis capable of a maximum feed rate of 400 IPM and rapid traverse speeds of 1,179 IPM, enabling efficient material removal and precise machining. The vertical spindle, equipped with a BT 40 taper, delivers up to 10,000 RPM and is powered by a 33 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty cycles, ensuring high-speed, high-power operations suitable for a wide range of materials. The tool carrier incorporates a double-arm design with 24 tool stations, facilitating extensive tool changes and reducing downtime. This machine is capable of high accuracy and rigidity, allowing for machining of large, heavy components with enhanced precision. The combination of substantial travel, high feed rates, and a powerful spindle makes it suitable for complex milling tasks, including aerospace, die casting, and forming tool manufacturing. The configuration supports advanced machining operations with optional indexing and rotary tables for enhanced flexibility. Overall, this design is optimized for robust, high-capacity machining with a blend of speed, power, and versatility for demanding industrial applications.
