PHOENIX VTC 144/236 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-scale cylindrical workpieces. The main spindle chuck diameter matches the turning diameter at 144.000 inches, ensuring secure clamping for oversized parts, while the maximum swing of 230.000 inches allows for generous clearance during machining operations. The spindle delivers 133.0 horsepower at 125 RPM, providing robust torque for heavy-duty turning applications. The machine is equipped with a 2-axis control system, with X-axis travel of 149.000 inches and Z-axis travel of 69.000 inches, supporting precise tool positioning. Both X and Z axes offer a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse of 250 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and quick tool repositioning. The Y-axis travel is listed as 250ipm, indicating rapid traverse capability. The vertical machining center supports up to 20 tools in its turret, with a single simultaneous cutting tool in use at any time. A rotary tool option is available, delivering 39.0 horsepower at 2,000 RPM for milling or drilling operations. The index increment is set at 0.000, indicating continuous or fine indexing capability. This configuration is ideal for high-precision, large-part turning with the flexibility to integrate secondary rotary tool operations, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications requiring both size capacity and machining versatility.
