Technical Description
This vertical machining center features a **19.69" x 19.69" table** with a maximum workpiece weight capacity of **1,100 lbs**, suitable for heavy-duty precision machining. It supports **5-axis movement** (X, Y, Z linear axes and A rotary axis) with travels of 27.56" (X), 19.69" (Y), 19.69" (Z), and 90° rotation on the A axis, enabling complex contouring and angled machining. The spindle is vertically oriented with a **MAS BT40 taper**, capable of speeds up to **10,000 RPM standard** and optionally **15,000 RPM**, driven by a 15 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, with an optional 10 HP motor alternative. The machine employs an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a capacity of **64 tools**, facilitating continuous operation with a quick tool change time of 3.54 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 4.92 seconds. Rapid traverse rates reach approximately 1,969 inches per minute on X, Y, and Z axes, ensuring efficient rapid positioning. This machine does not include a support index or rotary table, nor a U axis. It is engineered for high throughput and precision, suitable for applications requiring rigid toolholding, broad tool capacity, and multi-axis machining capabilities. The combination of a robust table, high spindle power, a large tool magazine, and fast feed rates supports efficient handling of moderate to large workpieces in precision milling, drilling, and contouring operations.
