SCHIESS VMG 2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SCHIESS VMG 2 is a precision 4-axis vertical machining center engineered for large-scale turning and milling operations. It features dual main spindles, each rated at 147 HP and 250 RPM, with a maximum turning diameter of 78.740 inches and a turning length of 78.740 inches. The machine accommodates chuck diameters of 62.990 inches, with an optional upgrade to 70.870 inches, providing exceptional workpiece capacity. The integrated rotary tool operates at 3,150 RPM with 70 HP, enabling simultaneous multi-process machining. The machine supports up to 30 tools for both turning and rotary operations, with single simultaneous cutting tool capability for focused material removal. Generously dimensioned axes deliver robust traverse capabilities: the X-axis travels 114.170 inches at 630 IPM rapid traverse, the Y-axis spans 314.960 inches at 630 IPM, and the Z-axis provides 55.120 inches of travel at matching 630 IPM performance. All three axes maintain identical feed rates and rapid traverse speeds, ensuring consistent high-speed positioning and cutting operations. This configuration positions the VMG 2 as an ideal solution for aerospace, heavy equipment, and industrial component manufacturers requiring precision machining of large, complex workpieces in a single setup, combining turning, milling, and drilling capabilities while minimizing setup times and production costs.
