SKYMASTER VU400 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust workspace defined by travel dimensions of X: 23.62 inches, Y: 15.75 inches, and Z: 21.65 inches, allowing for precise multi-axis part manipulation. The spindle operates at a high speed of up to 12,000 RPM, suitable for medium to high-speed machining applications, and utilizes an automatic tool changer (ATC) with 24 tool positions for flexible and efficient tool management. The spindle taper is compatible with both SK and BT40 tooling systems, combining the high rigidity and stability benefits of SK’s steeper 1:10 taper with the global availability and balance features of BT40’s 7:24 taper, ensuring broad tooling ecosystem access and high-speed performance. The control system is CNC-based, enabling automated, highly accurate machining operations and complex tool paths. This machine’s size and specification make it well-suited for precision manufacturing environments requiring multi-axis capability, a versatile tool turret, and a range of medium-sized to large workpieces. It supports high productivity through rapid spindle speeds and extensive tooling capacity, ideal for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and general precision engineering. The combination of travel range, spindle speed, and tooling versatility offers a balanced platform for varied machining tasks requiring rigidity, speed, and tool flexibility.
