SCHIESS VM 1 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter and swing of 62.990 inches, allowing it to accommodate large workpieces. The spindle can handle turning lengths up to 62.990 inches, supported by a main spindle chuck diameter of 49.210 inches with an optional increase to 55.120 inches for greater versatility. Powered by a 147 HP motor, the spindle reaches speeds up to 320 RPM, suitable for heavy-duty machining on large diameter parts. The machine operates with a 3-axis configuration (X, Y, and Z), offering axis travels of 98.430 inches on the X-axis and 55.120 inches on the Z-axis, enabling precise multi-directional machining. The vertical machining center supports up to 30 tools in its turret with a single simultaneous cutting tool in operation and features a rotary tool with 70 HP and a maximum spindle speed of 3,150 RPM for high-speed milling and drilling operations. Feed rates and rapid traverse rates both reach a maximum of 630 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and quick positioning. This combination of high power, large capacity, and versatile axis movement makes it ideal for machining sizable and complex cylindrical components with precision and speed, suited for industries requiring robust and accurate turning capabilities.
