STAR MACHINE HDVM SERIES VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a rigid work table measuring 54" in length by 10" in width, with an optional table width expansion to 12", designed to support workpieces up to 750 lbs. It operates with a vertical spindle configured with a 40 NMTB taper, delivering a top speed of 5,440 RPM, optionally reduced to 3,750 RPM, and powered by a 5 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty cycles. The manual tool carrier accommodates a single tool, making it suitable for precise milling operations requiring manual tool changes. The machine provides two-axis travel: the X-axis features a 36" travel distance (extendable to 39.38") and the Y-axis ranges between 15" and 16.5", facilitating movement of the workpiece with controlled precision. This mill lacks a U axis, indicating it is designed primarily for planar X-Y work with vertical Z-axis spindle motion for cutting and drilling. The spindle orientation and taper type are standard for industrial vertical mills, while the table size and load capacity support medium-sized workpieces. The machine's maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are not explicitly detailed but generally align with typical industrial vertical milling applications. The combination of a 40 NMTB taper spindle, moderate top RPMs, and a 5 HP motor supports a range of general milling tasks, from metal shaping to prototyping. Its robust table and workpiece capabilities make it well-suited for workshops requiring a versatile, manually operated vertical machining center designed for moderate-sized parts and tooling.
