Technical Description
This vertical machining center features a large worktable measuring 78.7" x 33.46" capable of supporting workpieces up to 6,600 lbs, suitable for heavy-duty machining operations. The spindle is vertically oriented with a #40 taper as standard and an optional #50 taper, delivering up to 25 HP (30-minute rating) and a top speed of 8,000 RPM (with an optional 6,000 RPM variant). Tooling is managed by an automatic tool changer (ATC) holding 30 tools, with a 5.5-second tool change chip time; a 24-tool option is also available. The machine operates primarily with three axes (X, Y, Z), with an optional 4-axis configuration, providing travels of 78.7", 35.43", and 31.49" respectively. The maximum feed and rapid traverse rates reach 787 inches per minute on all axes, ensuring efficient material removal rates. Optional features include support index tables, rotary tables, and pallet changers to enhance flexibility and productivity. The machine’s robust structure, high horsepower spindle, and extensive travel capabilities make it ideal for large, complex parts in industries requiring precision heavy machining, such as aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery manufacturing. This center supports diverse applications including milling, drilling, boring, and tapping with high efficiency and precision.
