STARRAG LX 151 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust work envelope with axis travels of 43.3 inches (X), 15.7 inches (Y), and 15.7 inches (Z), making it suitable for machining medium to large parts with high precision. It is powered by a high-performance 37.5 hp spindle motor, capable of reaching speeds up to 18,000 RPM, delivering efficient cutting and high material removal rates. The spindle uses an HSK-A63 taper, which is known for its high rigidity, excellent repeatability, and superior tool-holding accuracy, ideal for high-speed machining applications. The tool changer can accommodate up to 62 tools, enabling extended, uninterrupted machining cycles with rapid automatic tool changes. The machine is controlled by a Siemens 840D CNC system, providing advanced numerical control capabilities, including multi-axis interpolation, high-speed machining cycles, and comprehensive programmable features for complex part geometries. This combination ensures precise control over positioning and movement with exceptional repeatability and reliability. The machine’s structural dimensions and power specifications indicate suitability for demanding industrial applications such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making, where high-speed, accurate milling is essential. The integration of a high-torque spindle and a large-capacity tool magazine under Siemens CNC control provides a versatile platform for complex milling operations that require both speed and precision.
