Turret A-2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Turret A-2 Vertical Machining Center is a 3-axis CNC machine designed for precision vertical milling operations. It features a worktable measuring 26.0" by 18.1" with a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 880 lbs, suitable for medium-duty machining tasks. The vertical spindle utilizes a #40 taper with a standard top speed of 6,000 RPM, optionally upgradable to 8,000 RPM, and is powered by a 5 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty cycles. Tool handling is managed by a 12-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), enabling efficient operation without significant downtime; a pallet changer is optionally available. Axis travels are 24.0" in X and 18.1" in both Y and Z axes, with maximum feed rates of 394 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds of 945 inches per minute across all three axes. This machine combines adequate spindle speed and power with a compact footprint, enabling flexible machining of moderate-sized, heavy components with relatively high feed rates for improved productivity. The absence of a U axis simplifies the machine to core vertical milling capabilities, focusing on durable construction and reliable tooling management for consistent, repeatable machining results. Optional features such as a pallet changer can further enhance its automation potential for production environments requiring efficient part handling and setup changes. Overall, the Turret A-2 VMC is engineered for moderate-speed, moderate-power vertical machining with a standard #40 spindle taper and a 12-tool capacity automatic changer to support diverse tooling needs.
