Starrag USA Inc. LX 351 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **table size of 47.2" (length) by 15.7" (width)** supporting a maximum workpiece weight of **176 lbs**, designed for efficient handling of moderate-sized parts. It includes a standard rotary table support with no separate support index table. The **spindle is vertical with an HSK-A63 taper**, delivering a **maximum speed of 18,000 RPM** and a power rating of **37.6 HP (30-minute rating)**, facilitating high-speed precision machining. Optional U-axis capability allows enhanced multi-axis machining flexibility. The tool carrier is a **chain magazine holding 24 tools by default, with an optional expansion to 62 tools**, and offers a tool change time of 8 seconds, enabling quick transitions during complex jobs. No pallet changer is included. This machine operates on **five axes (X, Y, Z, A, and B) with optional U-axis**, providing extensive multi-axis capability. The travels are 63.0" in the X-axis, 15.7" in Y, and 15.7" in Z, with rotary travels of 360° (A-axis) and 100° (B-axis). The rapid traverse speeds for X, Y, and Z axes are 2 inches per minute, suitable for precise and controlled movements during machining operations. This configuration is ideal for complex, precision parts requiring multi-axis simultaneous machining, optimized by the high-power spindle, versatile tooling capacity, and extensive travel ranges. The combination of a high-power HSK-A63 spindle and multi-axis control supports advanced milling, drilling, and tapping applications in aerospace, automotive, mold making, and other precision manufacturing sectors.
