2002 MILLTRONICS RW12 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2002 MILLTRONICS RW12 is a 3-axis bed-type vertical machining center from Milltronics Manufacturing, representing the compact model in the RW (Right-hand Wide) series of wide-bed VMC platforms designed for machining wide, low-profile workpieces that benefit from a laterally oriented work envelope. The RW12 features a 30 x 14 inch work table within a 24 x 12 x 20 inch X/Y/Z machining envelope, providing a compact but practically proportioned capacity for small-to-medium flat components, plates, and fixtures. The 15 HP spindle motor operates through a CAT-40 spindle taper at speeds up to 8,000 RPM, delivering effective cutting capability for aluminum, steel, and alloy materials across the compact travel range. A 10- or 16-station automatic tool changer handles multi-step programs without manual tool changes, enabling completion of complex component sequences in single setups. Maximum table load of 1,500 lbs accommodates typical workpiece and fixture weights in the compact class. Overall machine dimensions of approximately 97 x 97 x 97 inches and 6,000-pound weight provide a stable, manageable platform for shops with limited floor space. The Milltronics Centurion CNC control provides conversational and G-code programming capability in the manufacturer's standard interface. The wide-bed configuration of the RW series makes the RW12 particularly practical for flat plate work, panel components, and wide-but-shallow part families where a wider Y-axis relative to the X stroke better matches the workpiece geometry than a conventional square or tall-column VMC layout.
