PIETRO CARNAGHI VTL AC20 T/TM VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC turning center features a robust main spindle capable of handling large workpieces with a maximum turning diameter and swing of 78.740 inches and a maximum turning length of 82.680 inches. The main spindle chuck diameter is 55.120 inches, supporting substantial part holding. It operates at a maximum spindle speed of 350 RPM with 80 HP, providing sufficient power for heavy-duty turning operations. The machine is equipped with a rotary tool spindle delivering 41 HP and speeds up to 3,000 RPM, enabling live tooling applications such as milling or drilling during turning processes. It supports a single simultaneous cutting tool and has three axes of movement (X, Y, Z), where X-axis travel matches the spindle swing at 78.740 inches, Z-axis travel is 49.210 inches (optional extension up to 59.060 inches), and Y-axis travel is unspecified. The maximum feed rate and rapid traverse rate are both 590 inches per minute, allowing high-speed tool positioning and efficient material removal. This configuration is ideal for large, complex parts requiring precise turning combined with live tooling capability, facilitating multifunction machining in one setup, thereby improving productivity and reducing secondary operations. The combination of substantial capacity, live tooling horsepower, and rigid 3-axis control makes this turning center suitable for aerospace, heavy equipment, or large structural component machining where accuracy and versatility are critical.
