Shibaura Machine Co. MPH-2650S VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Shibaura Machine Co. MPH-2650S is a high-capacity vertical machining center designed for heavy-duty, precision machining applications. It features a large worktable measuring 197.0 inches in length and 79.0 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 66,000 lbs. The vertical spindle utilizes a #50 taper, delivering a top speed of 8,000 RPM powered by a 36 HP motor rated for 30 minutes. The machine includes an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 32 tools, expandable up to 90, enabling efficient machining operations with minimal downtime. This machining center operates with a 4-axis system (X1, Y1, Z1, and a fourth axis not specified), offering extensive travel ranges of 216.5 inches (X), 133.9 inches (Y), and 31.5 inches (Z). The machine supports a max feed rate of 394 inches per minute and a rapid traverse of 788 inches per minute across all axes, ensuring high productivity and precise control. Its robust double-column frame design provides exceptional rigidity and thermal stability, critical for machining large, complex components in aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery sectors. The MPH-2650S supports advanced CNC control options (TOSNUC), facilitating programmable, automated machining suited for complex part geometries. It is optimized for long-term reliability and accuracy, with features like linear scale feedback and thermal distortion minimization through a thermally symmetrical bed and oil cooling system. This machine is ideal for manufacturers requiring large-format, heavy workpiece capability combined with high-precision vertical milling.
