Milltronics USA, Inc. VM3018IL VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a **34" x 18" table** capable of supporting workpieces up to **3,000 lbs**, designed for robust machining tasks. Its **vertical spindle** employs the **BIG-PLUS® ISO No. 40 taper**, offering enhanced rigidity by dual contact between the spindle taper and face, which reduces deflection and improves machining accuracy and tool life. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of **10,000 RPM** with a power rating of **15 HP (30-minute rating)**, enabling efficient cutting performance. The tool handling system includes a **double-arm tool carrier** with a capacity of **30 tools**, facilitating versatile and automated tool management, though no pallet changer is included. The machine supports **3 axes of motion**, with an option for a 4-axis configuration, providing XYZ travels of **30" (X)**, **18" (Y)**, and **22" (Z)**, each with a max feed rate of **500 IPM** and rapid traverse at **1,200 IPM**, ensuring high-speed and precise positioning. The integration of the BIG-PLUS spindle system ensures simultaneous contact on both the taper and face, significantly enhancing tool rigidity, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy while minimizing spindle deflection and Z-axis movement at high speeds. This machining center is ideal for heavy-duty, precise vertical milling operations demanding high load capacity, durability, and advanced tooling flexibility.
