2014 TOSHIBA VMC85E VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2014 Toshiba VMC85E is a 3-axis large-format vertical machining center designed for heavy-duty machining of large workpieces in industries such as aerospace, power generation, heavy equipment, and mold and die. Built by Toshiba Machine Co. (now Shibaura Machine Co.), the VMC85E employs a gantry-style fixed-bridge architecture with a moving table, providing the structural rigidity necessary for precision machining of large, heavy components. The work table measures 114.2" x 31.5" with a maximum table load capacity of 11,000 lbs, accommodating substantial fixtures and workpieces. Axis travels of 98.0" in X, 33.5" in Y, and 27.5" in Z define a very large cutting envelope. The two-speed geared spindle provides a speed range of 20 to 4,500 RPM with a continuous power rating of 35 HP and a maximum torque of 723 ft-lbs at 214 RPM, accommodating CAT 50 tooling through a 40-position automatic tool changer. The TOSNUC 777 CNC control provides the operator interface with full G-code programming support. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 172" long x 147" wide x 129" high. Machine weight is approximately 40,600 lbs. The VMC85E is a high-capacity platform suited to applications where both large part coverage and heavy material removal rates are required in a single setup.
