Sigma SDV-5224 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features an exceptionally large table measuring 196.8 inches in length by 86.6 inches in width, supporting heavy workpieces up to 40,000 lbs, ideal for machining large-scale parts. It offers 3-axis CNC operation with X-axis travel of 204.72 inches, Y-axis travel of 94.48 inches, and Z-axis travel of 39.3 inches, all equipped with a rapid traverse rate of 393 inches per minute to ensure efficient positioning and machining cycles. The machine is equipped with a #50 taper vertical spindle capable of 6,000 RPM and powered by a 35 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty cycles, delivering robust cutting power suitable for heavy material removal and precision milling. The tooling system incorporates an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity for 40 tools, with an option to expand up to 60 tools, reducing downtime for tool changes and increasing productivity. The machine’s rigid structure and large work envelope support machining of massive components with enhanced stability, precision, and reliability. Its high feed rates combined with a substantial workpiece holding capacity make it particularly suitable for aerospace, heavy equipment, or large die/mold manufacturing applications requiring both size and power. The absence of a U-axis signifies a conventional three-axis layout focused on vertical milling operations. Overall, this machine is optimized for handling very large workpieces with high weight, combined with flexible tooling and capable spindle performance for demanding vertical machining tasks.
