OKK VC-X500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a 30 hp spindle motor capable of reaching 20,000 rpm, paired with a CAT 40 taper spindle that ensures secure and precise tool holding with a standardized 7/24 taper angle for optimal rigidity and versatility. It supports a 60-station automatic tool changer (ATC) for efficient machining operations. The machine provides extensive travel ranges with 27.56" (X-axis), 33.46" (Y-axis), and 24.02" (Z-axis), facilitating the machining of large workpieces. Rapid traverse rates are high at 1,889 ipm for both X and Y axes, and 1,259 ipm for the Z axis, enabling fast repositioning and reduced cycle times. The C-axis rotary offers a fine resolution of 0.001°, while the A-axis rotates from -120° to +30°, allowing for complex multi-axis machining capabilities. It supports a maximum table load of 1,102 pounds, accommodating heavy parts with stability. The overall machine dimensions are 130" length by 97" width by 138" height, providing a substantial footprint for industrial applications. The CAT 40 taper is widely adopted in CNC machining due to its balance of strength and precision, offering tight coupling between spindle and tooling to minimize chatter and extend tool life. This combination of power, speed, precision, and travel makes the machine suitable for high-performance milling, drilling, and contouring tasks across diverse materials.
