TOSHIBA VMC 55E VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC machining center features a travel capacity of 43.3" along the X-axis, and 22" each on the Y and Z axes, allowing machining of sizable workpieces. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 5,000 RPM with a CAT 50 taper, driven by a powerful 15 HP motor for robust cutting performance. The tool handling is facilitated by a 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC), enhancing efficiency by minimizing manual tool swaps. Control is managed by the Tosnuc 7-3-2 CNC system, known for its user-friendly interface and advanced machining functions. Chip removal is optimized with an integrated chip conveyor, ensuring continuous operation and reduced downtime. Spindle head cooling is included to maintain thermal stability during machining, improving precision and tool life. A Koma TN-320 5th-axis trunnion is incorporated, enabling complex multi-axis machining and improved part accessibility. The machine’s overall footprint measures 150.4" by 154.5" by 124.8" and weighs 22,000 lbs, reflecting a robust build suitable for heavy-duty industrial use. Communication and data transfer are supported via an RS232 port, allowing integration with external peripherals and network systems. This combination of travel range, spindle power, multi-axis capability, and tool management makes this machining center suitable for high-precision, versatile manufacturing applications in aerospace, automotive, and general engineering sectors.
