Shibaura Machine Co. MPF-2640B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Shibaura Machine Co. MPF-2640B Vertical Machining Center is a high-speed, high-efficiency double column machining center designed for demanding production environments. Featuring a robust vertical spindle with a 50 taper and a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM, the machine delivers 36 HP (30-minute rating) for powerful, reliable cutting performance. The table measures 78.7 inches (L) by 157.5 inches (W), supporting workpieces up to 44,000 lbs, making it ideal for large and heavy-duty machining applications. Tooling is managed by an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) with a 24-tool capacity, ensuring rapid and efficient tool changes to minimize downtime. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), with X-axis travel of 157.5 inches, Y-axis travel of 102.4 inches, and Z-axis travel of 31.5 inches, providing a generous machining envelope for versatile part processing. All axes offer a maximum feed rate of 394 ipm and a rapid traverse rate of 787 ipm, maximizing productivity and reducing idle time. The MPF-2640B incorporates advanced engineering features such as a rigid double column structure, high-accuracy ram, and energy-saving Z-axis twin ball screw drive, ensuring exceptional stability, precision, and responsiveness. Optional features include automatic measuring and tool setting Renishaw probes, direct table change automatic workpiece changer, and Z-axis thermal displacement compensation, further enhancing accuracy and automation. This machining center is engineered for high-speed, high-rigidity operations, making it suitable for a wide range of industries requiring precision and efficiency in large-part machining.
