Summit Machine Tool LLC VS-350B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 50.0 inches in length by 10.0 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 850 lbs, making it suitable for a wide range of milling applications. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing an R-8 taper, which is widely recognized for its reliability and ease of tool changes in milling operations. The spindle delivers a maximum speed of 4,200 RPM and is powered by a 3.0 HP motor (30-minute rating), providing ample power for efficient material removal and precision machining. Tooling is managed manually, with a single tool carrier and no automatic tool changer, allowing for straightforward operation and maintenance. The machine supports three axes (X, Y, Z) for versatile movement and positioning, though specific travel distances and feed rates are not provided. The absence of a U axis and pallet changer indicates a focus on basic, reliable milling tasks without advanced automation features. The R-8 taper ensures secure tool holding and compatibility with a broad range of standard tooling, while the manual tool change process keeps the system simple and cost-effective. This configuration is ideal for shops requiring dependable performance and flexibility for general milling, drilling, and light-duty machining tasks.
