Technical Description
This vertical machining center features a robust table sized 90" x 45", capable of supporting workpieces up to 30,000 lbs, suitable for heavy-duty machining applications. It operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 100", 45", and 31" respectively, each axis capable of a maximum feed and rapid traverse rate of 800 inches per minute, enabling efficient material removal and precision positioning. The spindle is vertically oriented with an ISO 40 taper and runs at speeds up to 4,000 RPM, powered by a 20 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, ensuring sufficient torque and power for a wide range of milling operations. Although the tool change chip time is not specified, the machine is configured without a U-axis, focusing on standard three-axis control. Its combination of large travel strokes, heavy workpiece capacity, and moderate spindle speed makes it well-suited for machining large, heavy components with high precision, such as those required in mold making, aerospace, or heavy machinery industries. The feed rates and spindle power balance productivity and cutting force, while the ISO 40 taper ensures compatibility with a broad catalogue of tooling. This machine's design supports demanding milling, drilling, and boring tasks that require stable, precise movement and the handling of substantial workpiece weights.
