TRIMILL VF 2316 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The TRIMILL VF 2316 is a precision 5-axis vertical machining center engineered for high-performance mold and die manufacturing. Featuring a robust traveling column design with a stationary workpiece configuration, this machine delivers exceptional rigidity and accuracy for complex 5-sided machining operations completed in single setups. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 118.11 inches in X-travel, 63 inches in Y-travel, and 47.24 inches in Z-travel, enabling substantial part geometries. With a powerful 56.34 hp spindle rated at 24,000 RPM and HSK-A63 taper, the VF 2316 delivers high-speed cutting capabilities for both roughing and finishing operations. The 10-station automatic tool changer enables rapid tool changes, minimizing cycle times. Built with TRIMILL's signature box-in-box design featuring ultra-wide A-shaped column construction and reinforced cross-beam geometry, the machine provides superior damping characteristics and thermal stability. The closed structural design with quadruple-guided ram-type milling units ensures consistent surface quality and dimensional accuracy. Weighing approximately 74,957 pounds with overall dimensions of 267.72" × 191.73" × 191.73", the VF 2316 requires substantial floor space but maximizes working area utilization. The machine incorporates thermo-symmetric design principles that minimize thermal distortion during extended production runs, eliminating frequent dimensional compensation requirements. Compatible with Heidenhain iTNC 530 or optional Siemens 840D control systems, this machine delivers the precision and productivity demanded by tool and die shops worldwide.
