PHOENIX VTC 144/172 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 144.000 inches and a maximum turning length of 98.000 inches, accommodating large workpieces with high precision. The main spindle chuck diameter is 144.000 inches, supporting robust workholding for heavy-duty applications. The maximum swing of 174.000 inches allows for oversized parts to rotate freely without interference. The spindle operates at up to 150 RPM and delivers 133.00 HP, providing substantial power for demanding turning operations. The machine is equipped with a 2-axis control system, with X-axis travel of 144.000 inches and Z-axis travel of 69.000 inches (optional 84.000 inches), enabling precise radial and longitudinal movements. The tool turret supports up to 20 tools, with a rotary tool option rated at 40.00 HP and 1,500 RPM for milling and drilling operations. The index increment is 0.000, ensuring accurate positioning. Only one cutting tool can operate simultaneously, maintaining simplicity and reliability in operation. The maximum feed rate and rapid traverse are both 300 inches per minute, optimizing cycle times for high-efficiency production. This vertical machining center is designed for large-scale, high-precision turning tasks, ideal for industries requiring robust machining of oversized cylindrical components.
