TOSHIBA MPC 3180B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The TOSHIBA MPC 3180B is a heavy-duty vertical machining center engineered for large-scale and complex machining tasks. It features a dual pallet changer with two 315" x 106" tables, each supporting up to 44,000 lbs, facilitating high-volume, continuous production. Its axis travels are extensive, with 354.3" on the X-axis, 153.5" on the Y-axis, 35.4" on the Z-axis, and a 63" vertical W-axis crossrail travel, enabling machining of large workpieces and extended reach. The spindle, powered by a 40 HP motor with speeds ranging from 5 to 3000 RPM, uses an MAS BT50 taper, ensuring powerful and precise cutting performance. The machine includes advanced tooling capabilities with a 180-tool automatic tool changer, supporting maximum tool lengths of 23.6", diameters up to 11.4" (reduced to 5.9" in some cases), and weights up to 66 lbs. It incorporates an Automatic Attachment Index (AAI) with a right angle indexing head capable of 72 positions at 5-degree increments and a small angle head, providing versatile machining orientations. The distance from the table top to the vertical spindle nose is 96.1", with a maximum distance between columns of 122". Overall dimensions are approximately 96' in length, 33' in width, and 25' in height, with an estimated machine weight of 330,000 lbs. This model is typically equipped with a Fanuc 30i-B CNC control system and includes hydraulic balancing for the ram and crossrail to enhance accuracy and efficiency.
