MIKRON VCE-1000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Mikron VCE-1000 Vertical Machining Center features a robust worktable measuring 40" x 24.4" (approximately 1016 mm x 620 mm) supporting large and heavy parts with X, Y, and Z travels of 40.00", 22.00", and 23.60" respectively, enabling versatile machining capacity. It is equipped with a high-speed 16,000 RPM inline spindle powered by a 21 HP motor, designed to deliver high torque and precision for machining a broad range of materials, including aluminum and non-ferrous metals. The spindle uses an ISO 40 taper and benefits from regulated cooling to maintain thermal stability and enhance tool life. The machine includes a side-mounted tool changer with a 24-tool magazine capacity, allowing efficient tool changes to reduce downtime. The worktable height from spindle nose is 30.5", providing ample clearance for various workpiece sizes. The VCE-1000 operates with a coolant system rated at 200 PSI, ensuring effective cutting fluid delivery for improved surface finish and tool longevity. The machine is designed with a strong, precise base, advanced CNC control compatibility (commonly Heidenhain iTNC 530 or Haas CNC), and integral features such as chip conveyors and automatic lubrication systems to optimize operation and maintenance. Its rigid construction, high feed rates, and linear scale support ensure accuracy and repeatability in demanding production environments. This vertical machining center is suitable for medium to large workpieces requiring precision milling, drilling, and tapping with high dynamic performance and excellent chip management. The Mikron VCE-1000 balances power, speed, and precision to meet diverse industrial machining needs.
