2007 TWINHORN VA 500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2007 Twinhorn VA 500 is a 3-axis vertical machining center manufactured by Twinhorn Enterprise Co. of Taiwan, designed for general-purpose milling in job shop and light production environments. The machine provides 19.7 inches of X-axis travel, 15.75 inches of Y-axis travel, and 17.7 inches of Z-axis travel, with a table measuring 27.6 by 15.75 inches suited to small-to-medium workpieces. The 10 HP spindle reaches 8,000 RPM and accommodates BT 40 tooling, enabling a full range of milling, drilling, boring, and tapping operations in aluminum, steel, and engineering plastics. CNC control is provided by Mitsubishi Meldas 60 series or Fanuc 0i-MC depending on configuration, both offering reliable and well-supported programming environments. The machine weighs approximately 11,000 pounds and has an overall footprint of approximately 99 by 86 by 106 inches, reflecting the solid casting construction characteristic of Twinhorn's production machines. The VA 500 is positioned in Twinhorn's line as a compact, capable machining center suited to operations where versatility and reliability are the primary requirements. Twinhorn machines are known for their robust box-way construction options and solid build quality consistent with Taiwanese VMC manufacturing of this era. The 2007 VA 500 represents a well-established iteration of this model with broad tooling compatibility and an effective performance envelope for its size class.
