TAKUMI V18A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The TAKUMI V18A is a robust 4-axis vertical machining center engineered for high-performance production and heavy material removal applications. Featuring generous work envelope dimensions of 71 inches X-axis, 33.5 inches Y-axis, and 29.52 inches Z-axis travel, this machine accommodates large workpieces while maintaining precision. The 33.5 x 86.5 inch table provides ample clamping surface with substantial load capacity suitable for demanding machining operations. The machine is equipped with a powerful 30 HP direct-drive spindle operating at 10,000 RPM, delivering high torque across the speed range for aggressive cutting in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The CAT 50 spindle taper ensures compatibility with standard tooling and enables quick tool changes through an automatic tool changer system. The inclusion of 360-degree A-axis rotation capability facilitates multi-sided machining without manual repositioning, significantly improving productivity and part accuracy. The V18A incorporates rigid box-way guideways with precision-machined castings that minimize deflection during heavy cutting operations. Pre-tensioned ballscrews and direct-coupled motors enhance both accuracy and repeatability. Advanced thermal management through spindle cooling and synchronized temperature control maintains dimensional stability throughout extended production runs. Integrated chip management and washdown systems support efficient operation in production environments. With 38,494 documented cutting hours, this unit demonstrates proven reliability in demanding manufacturing applications. The machine is controlled by Fanuc® 0i-MF Plus CNC for intuitive programming and high-speed precision machining capabilities.
