Shibaura Machine Co. MPF-2140 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 157.5 inches in length by 70.9 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 30,800 lbs, making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications. The vertical spindle utilizes a #50 taper, with a maximum speed of 4,000 RPM (optional up to 6,000 RPM) and a 30-minute power rating of 25 HP, ensuring high torque and efficient material removal for demanding machining tasks. Tooling is managed via an optional tool carrier, supporting a single tool as standard, with an upgrade to a 120-tool magazine and an average tool change time of 14 seconds, enhancing productivity for complex operations. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), with travel distances of 157.5 inches (X), 82.7 inches (Y), and 31.5 inches (Z), providing extensive work envelope coverage. Maximum feed rates reach 236 IPM across all axes, while rapid traverse speeds are rated at 630 IPM, enabling swift and precise movements for both roughing and finishing operations. The design emphasizes rigidity and stability, supporting high-accuracy machining of large and heavy components, suitable for industries such as aerospace, energy, and heavy manufacturing.
