SCHIESS VM 3 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a substantial main spindle turning capacity with a maximum diameter and swing of 98.430 inches, allowing it to handle large workpieces efficiently. The main spindle supports a turning length of up to 98.430 inches and accepts a chuck diameter of 78.740 inches, enabling secure clamping of sizeable materials. It operates at up to 200 RPM with a spindle power of 147 horsepower, providing robust torque for heavy-duty cutting operations. The rotary tool is powered separately at 70 horsepower and can reach speeds up to 3,150 RPM, facilitating versatile milling or drilling tasks on the same setup. The machine is equipped with a 30-tool turret, supporting single simultaneous cutting tool operation, optimizing tool changes and machining efficiency. It employs a 3-axis system, with X-axis travel covering 133.860 inches, Z-axis travel of 55.120 inches, and an unspecified Y-axis travel, delivering multi-dimensional machining capability for complex parts. High-speed material handling is supported by a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse of 630 inches per minute, ensuring swift, precise tool positioning and reduced cycle times. This configuration enables machining of large diameter and long components with high power, precision, and flexibility, suited for demanding industrial applications requiring large part capacity and multi-axis CNC turning with milling functionality.
