Technical Description
This CNC vertical machining center features a **16.73" x 16.73" worktable** capable of supporting workpieces up to **550 lbs**, with optional support for index and rotary tables for enhanced versatility. The vertical spindle employs a **BT40 taper** and operates at speeds up to **20,000 RPM**, with a 30-minute power rating of **20 HP** (optional 15 HP). It includes an **automatic tool changer (ATC) with 28 tool capacity**, supporting efficient tool switching during operations.
The machine provides **3-axis motion (X, Y, Z)** with travel distances of approximately **17.72", 18.11", and 16.14" respectively**, and rapid traverse rates of **1,572 inches per minute** on each axis, delivering high-speed positioning and machining throughput. The spindle rotates vertically, with an optional 5-axis configuration available for complex multi-axis machining, although no U axis is included. The machine supports a maximum feed rate of 394 inches per minute.
This setup is optimized for high-precision milling and machining tasks requiring robust spindle power, high RPM capability, and flexible tooling options. The use of a BT40 taper ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial tooling for diverse manufacturing applications. The high spindle speed combined with powerful motor ratings enables efficient machining of various materials including metals and composites, suitable for industries such as aerospace, automotive, mold making, and precision engineering. Optional rotary and index tables further extend the capability to handle 4- or 5-axis operations when integrated.
Overall, this machine balances **rigidity, power, high-speed spindle performance, and tool capacity**, making it a versatile solution for medium to heavy-duty precision CNC milling.
