Technical Description
This CNC vertical machining center features a **43.3" x 20" rectangular table** capable of supporting workpieces up to **1,100 lbs**, offering a robust platform for medium to large machining tasks. The machine operates with a **3-axis configuration (X, Y, Z)**, providing travels of **41.3" (X), 20" (Y), and 21" (Z)**, all with a rapid traverse and max feed rate of **1,181 ipm**, enabling rapid and precise tool movements. An optional 4-axis setup is available for enhanced machining capabilities. The spindle is vertically oriented with a **#40 taper**, delivering a 10 HP power rating (30-minute duty cycle) and a top speed of 8,000 RPM, upgradeable to 10,000 RPM for high-speed machining operations. Tool handling is managed by a **24-tool automatic tool changer (ATC)**, with tool change times of 2.2 seconds and chip-to-chip times of 4.2 seconds, maximizing productivity through rapid tool swaps. Support tables, including index and rotary options, can be added to accommodate complex part orientations and rotary machining. This machine’s combination of large work envelope, substantial load capacity, high-speed spindle, and efficient tool changing makes it well suited for precision milling applications across a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and die/mold manufacturing. It efficiently handles diverse materials, providing precise and versatile machining with a balance of speed and accuracy.
