2015 SMTCL VMC1000B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2015 SMTCL VMC1000B is a 3-axis vertical machining center manufactured by Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. (SMTCL), a leading Chinese precision machine-tool builder with extensive production capacity and export market presence. The VMC1000B is designed for medium-to-large format precision milling, drilling, and boring applications in automotive, mold-making, and general industrial manufacturing. Built on a heavily ribbed cast-iron column and base with precision-ground guideways, the machine delivers structural rigidity for consistent cutting performance. The 47.2 x 22-inch worktable accommodates larger workpieces and multi-part setups, supported by T-slots for versatile workholding. Axis travels of 39.4 inches in X, 20.5 inches in Y, and 22 inches in Z provide a capable larger work envelope compared to the VMC850B. The spindle operates at up to 10,000 RPM with 20 HP continuous power, supporting high material-removal rates in aluminum and steel. A Fanuc CNC control system delivers full G-code programming, macro execution, canned cycles, and Ethernet connectivity. An automatic tool changer enables multi-tool unattended programs. The machine weighs approximately 17,600 lbs, reflecting its substantial construction for the mid-large VMC class. The VMC1000B is well suited to production environments requiring a cost-effective, high-rigidity machining center with a larger work envelope.
