SCHIESS VM 2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC vertical machining center features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter and max swing of 78.740 inches, allowing large-diameter workpieces to be machined efficiently. It supports a maximum turning length of 78.740 inches, enabling the machining of long components. The spindle accommodates a chuck diameter up to 62.990 inches standard, with an optional increase to 70.870 inches for enhanced versatility. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 250 RPM delivering 147 horsepower, providing substantial power for heavy cutting demands. Equipped with a 3-axis configuration (X, Y, and Z), it offers X-axis travel of 114.170 inches and Z-axis travel of 55.120 inches, allowing precise and complex machining along multiple directions. The Y-axis travel is unlisted, suggesting a focus on primarily 3-axis operations for turning with limited lateral milling capabilities. The machine’s rotary tool has 70 horsepower with a maximum speed of 3,150 RPM, enabling secondary milling or drilling functions. Tooling capacity includes up to 30 tools in the turret with one simultaneous cutting tool utilized per operation, balancing flexible tooling with controlled machining processes. The maximum feed and rapid traverse rates each reach 630 inches per minute, optimizing productivity by minimizing non-cutting transit times. This vertical machining center’s specifications support machining of large, heavy, and complex parts with strong spindle power, extensive travel dimensions, and substantial tooling options for diverse manufacturing and production needs.
