MILLTRONICS VM16 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust design with a working envelope of 30 inches in the X-axis, 16 inches in Y, and 20 inches in Z, allowing versatile machining of complex parts. It has a throat distance of 16 inches from spindle to column and a spindle-to-table clearance adjustable from 4 to 24 inches, providing flexibility for various workpiece sizes and tooling configurations. The table supports a maximum load of 1500 lbs, ensuring rigidity and stability during heavy-duty operations. Equipped with a high-performance spindle motor delivering 24 hp for 1 minute and 15 hp for 30 minutes, the spindle can reach speeds up to 15,000 RPM, ideal for high-precision and high-speed machining tasks. Tool changes are efficient, with a rapid tool change time of 3.5 seconds. The machine offers rapid traverse rates of 1000 inches per minute (ipm) on the XY plane and 800 ipm on the Z-axis, with a maximum feed rate of 500 ipm to optimize cycle times without compromising accuracy. It operates on a power supply of 208-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 4 phase, drawing 50 amps with 19 kVA power consumption, suited for industrial settings. The machine occupies a footprint of 92 by 90 inches with an overall height of 114 inches and weighs 9000 lbs, making it a substantial, floor-mounted system engineered for precision milling applications in aerospace, automotive, and heavy manufacturing sectors. Its combination of travel ranges, spindle power, and rapid traverse capabilities supports machining of large, complex parts with demanding specifications efficiently.
