Summit Machine Tool LLC VS-550B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 52.000 inches in length by 11.000 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 990 lbs, making it suitable for a wide range of milling applications. The spindle is vertically oriented with a #40 taper, providing compatibility with standard tooling and ensuring secure tool holding for precision machining. The spindle delivers a maximum speed of 3,500 RPM and is powered by a 5.0 HP motor (30-minute rating), offering sufficient power for demanding milling tasks. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), with Y-axis travel of 16.000 inches and Z-axis travel of 5.000 inches, allowing for versatile part positioning and machining depth. The X-axis travel is not specified, but the machine is designed for manual or powered feed as required. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are tailored to optimize machining efficiency and accuracy. Tooling is limited to a single tool carrier with no automatic tool changer or pallet changer, focusing on simplicity and reliability for manual operations. The absence of a U-axis indicates a standard three-axis configuration, ideal for conventional milling tasks. This machine is engineered for durability, precision, and ease of use in workshops requiring dependable vertical milling performance.
