RACER VMX-147 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This high-performance CNC machining center features a robust 3-axis configuration (X: 55.12 inches, Y: 27.95 inches, Z: 24.01 inches) and a spacious table (62.99 inches long by 27.55 inches wide), supporting versatile workpiece sizes. The spindle delivers up to 10,000 RPM for efficient material removal and precision finishing. At its core, the machine is powered by the Siemens SINUMERIK ONE CNC control, a digital-native system designed for smart manufacturing. SINUMERIK ONE integrates CNC, HMI, PLC, and closed-loop control in a single high-performance PPU module, enabling seamless operation, programming, and visualization. The control features a 15” HD multi-touch panel with intuitive dialogue programming (ShopMill/ShopTurn), advanced 3D simulation, and conversational cycles for rapid setup and operation. It supports advanced motion control algorithms such as Advanced Surface and Top Surface, optimizing machining velocity, surface quality, and dimensional accuracy. The system offers up to 31 axes and 10 machining channels, with modularity for future expansion. Integrated SIMATIC S7-1500F PLC ensures fast cycle times and reliable automation. The CNC provides extensive tool management, workpiece and tool offset measurement, and compatibility with external storage and file formats (PDF, BMP, JPEG, DXF). Look-ahead up to 3000 blocks, smooth NC program execution, and support for both G-code and conversational programming ensure high productivity and flexibility. The control’s digital twin capability enables virtual commissioning and simulation, minimizing non-productive time and accelerating setup. This machining center combines precision, speed, and advanced digital integration for demanding production environments.
