SMTCL VM650 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 31.5" × 16.53" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 880 lbs, with optional support for index and rotary tables to enhance versatility for complex machining operations. The machine is equipped with a #50 taper vertical spindle delivering 6,000 RPM maximum speed with a 20 HP (30-minute rating) motor, providing substantial cutting power for demanding applications. The three-axis configuration offers generous travels of 25.59" on the X-axis, 15.75" on the Y-axis, and 18.9" on the Z-axis, accommodating medium to large components with precision. Rapid traverse rates reach 472 IPM across all three axes, ensuring efficient non-cutting movements and reduced cycle times. An automatic tool changer (ATC) system streamlines tool changes, improving productivity during multi-operation jobs. This machining center is suitable for mechanical processing, mold making, and general production work, handling operations ranging from rough machining to finish work including milling, drilling, tapping, and boring. The combination of substantial spindle power, generous work envelope, and automated tooling capabilities makes this machine ideal for job shops and production facilities requiring reliable performance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
