Shibaura Machine Co. VMC-650 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a 63" × 27.6" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,400 lbs, making it suitable for mid-to-large production runs. The machine utilizes an ISO 50 spindle taper with a maximum speed of 5,000 RPM and 10 HP continuous power (15 HP optional), delivering substantial torque for heavy-duty cutting operations. The three-axis configuration provides 51.2" X-axis travel, 25.6" Y-axis travel, and 24" Z-axis travel, with rapid traverse rates reaching 630 IPM across all linear axes. An optional B-axis rotary capability adds 360° of continuous rotation for enhanced machining flexibility. The automatic tool changer accommodates 24 tools standard (40 tools optional), enabling extended production runs without manual intervention. All axes achieve consistent 236 IPM maximum feed rates for controlled material removal. This machine is engineered for precision manufacturing of large components across industries including aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment fabrication. The combination of substantial work envelope, powerful spindle, and rapid traverse rates minimizes cycle times while maintaining rigidity for tight tolerances typical of modern CNC vertical machining centers.
