Takisawa MAC-V1E VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 23.6 inches in length by 13.8 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 550 lbs. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a #40 taper, delivering a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM (optional 8,000 RPM) and 10 HP (30-minute rating) for high-performance cutting. Tooling is managed by an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 10 tools (expandable to 12), achieving rapid tool changes in just 3 seconds. An optional 2-pallet changer enhances productivity for high-volume or unattended operations. The machine operates on 3 standard axes (X, Y, Z), with an optional 4th axis (B) providing 360° rotation for complex part geometries. Axis travels are 16.9 inches (X), 13.8 inches (Y), and Z travel is specified for versatile machining. All axes support a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse of 945 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. The design integrates precision linear guides and high-speed ball screws for accuracy, repeatability, and smooth operation. Suitable for a wide range of milling applications, this machining center combines reliability, speed, and flexibility for demanding production environments.
