SHEM VM1100 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SHEM VM1100 Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance 3-axis CNC machine designed for precision metalworking applications. With an X-axis travel of 43.3 inches (1100 mm), Y-axis travel of 21.7 inches (550 mm), and Z-axis travel of 23.6 inches (600 mm), it offers a generous working envelope suitable for a wide range of part sizes. The machine features a robust BT-40 spindle taper, supporting versatile tooling options and ensuring reliable performance in demanding milling, drilling, boring, and tapping operations. The spindle delivers a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, powered by a 20.1 hp (15 kW) motor, providing ample torque for efficient material removal and high-precision finishing. The worktable measures 47.2 inches (1200 mm) in length and 22.8 inches (580 mm) in width, capable of handling substantial workpieces with a maximum load capacity of up to 1,200 kg. The VM1100 is equipped with a CNC control system for accurate, repeatable machining, and features linear roller guideways for smooth axis movement and enhanced rigidity. Rapid traverse rates reach up to 36 m/min on X and Y axes and 30 m/min on the Z axis, optimizing cycle times and productivity. The machine also includes a 24-tool arm-type automatic tool changer, centralized lubrication, and a screw-type chip conveyor for efficient operation. Designed for batch production and complex geometries, the SHEM VM1100 combines durability, accuracy, and flexibility, making it ideal for industries requiring high-precision machining of plates, housings, molds, and intricate components.
