SCHIESS VT 4 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC vertical machining center features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 125.980 inches and a maximum turning length of 98.430 inches, enabling the machining of large cylindrical workpieces. The standard chuck diameter is 98.430 inches, with an optional chuck diameter of 110.240 inches for increased workholding flexibility. The maximum swing of 125.980 inches ensures compatibility with oversized parts. The spindle operates at up to 180 RPM and delivers 147 horsepower, providing robust performance for heavy-duty turning applications. The machine is equipped with a 2-axis control system (X and Z), supporting precise linear motion with an X-axis travel of 161.420 inches and a Z-axis travel of 55.120 inches. Both axes offer a rapid traverse and maximum feed rate of 630 inches per minute, ensuring efficient tool movement and cycle times. The vertical machining center supports up to 8 tools in its turret, though only one tool can cut simultaneously. The index increment is set to 0.000, indicating continuous or fine indexing capability. This configuration is ideal for high-precision, large-scale turning operations requiring consistent accuracy and repeatability, suitable for industries such as aerospace, energy, and heavy manufacturing where large, complex cylindrical components are routinely produced.
