Starrag USA Inc. LX 451 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a spacious work table measuring 47.2 inches length by 15.7 inches width, accommodating workpieces up to 176 pounds. The machine is equipped with a standard rotary table for enhanced workpiece positioning flexibility. The spindle operates vertically with an HSK-A63 taper interface, delivering a maximum rotational speed of 18,000 RPM and a 30-minute rated power output of 37.60 horsepower, providing substantial cutting force for demanding machining operations. The tooling system utilizes a chain magazine configuration with a standard capacity of 24 tools, expandable to 62 tools for extended production runs without tool changes. Tool exchange occurs rapidly at 8 seconds, minimizing non-productive cycle time. The machine incorporates five programmable axes, including the optional U-axis for advanced contouring capabilities. The X-axis travel extends 110.2 inches with rapid traverse at 2 inches per minute, while the Y-axis provides 26 inches of travel and the Z-axis offers 23.6 inches of vertical clearance. Rotary positioning includes a full 360-degree A-axis rotation and 100-degree B-axis tilt, enabling complex multi-surface machining without frequent workpiece repositioning. This comprehensive axis configuration combined with high-speed spindle performance makes this center suitable for precision milling of complex components in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications where extended table length and rotary capabilities are essential.
