Matsuura V.PLUS-550 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a rigid table measuring 33.85" (L) by 15.74" (W) capable of supporting workpieces up to 880 lbs. It operates on a 3-axis configuration with optional 4-axis capability, enabling precision machining across three linear axes: X (21.65"), Y (16.14"), and Z (22.05"). Each axis supports a rapid traverse rate of up to 1,417 inches per minute for efficient material removal and setup adjustment. The spindle is vertically oriented with a standard CAT #40/BT40 taper and an optional HSK-A63 taper, delivering up to 15,000 RPM to accommodate high-speed machining requirements. The tooling system employs a BT40 tool carrier with capacity for 30 tools, expandable to 90 tools for extended automated operation without manual intervention. Optional rotary and index tables enhance workpiece positioning flexibility but no pallet changer is integrated. This machine is designed for robust performance with high feed rates and spindle speed, suitable for machining a variety of materials including metals and composites, while supporting complex geometries with precision. Its mechanical construction ensures stability under heavy loads, facilitating accurate and repeatable machining for aerospace, automotive, and tooling industries. The system’s modular design allows integration of optional accessories to tailor capabilities per application needs. This combination of high spindle speed, versatile tooling, and substantial travel make it an ideal platform for versatile CNC milling operations.
