STARWAY VMC-1680 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC machining center features a BT50 spindle taper system, a globally standardized tool holding interface commonly used in medium to heavy-duty milling operations. The BT50 taper utilizes an 8-degree 17'50" conical angle with symmetrical dimensions that provide enhanced balance and rigidity, particularly advantageous for high-speed machining applications. The taper angle ensures precise tool engagement with the spindle while minimizing vibration and tool wear. The machine offers generous working envelope dimensions of 63 inches (X-axis), 31.5 inches (Y-axis), and 27.5 inches (Z-axis), accommodating substantial workpieces and complex multi-axis machining operations. The 24-position automatic tool changer (ATC) enables rapid tool changes, reducing downtime and improving productivity in production environments. This capacity supports diverse machining strategies without manual intervention. The CNC control system automates spindle operations, axis movements, and tool changes, enabling complex part programming and repeatable precision work. BT50 tooling is widely available globally with extensive ecosystem support for end mills, drills, boring bars, and specialized cutting tools. The BT50 system accommodates clamping pull-forces typically around 18 KN and supports spindle speeds up to 10,000 rpm, suitable for both roughing and finishing operations. Overall, this machine represents a versatile, production-capable platform designed for mid-range manufacturing demands, combining ample work envelope capacity with modern CNC automation and a robust, internationally standardized tool interface.
