VANGUARD X6140 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2008 Vanguard X6140 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust 3-axis CNC milling machine designed for precision horizontal machining applications. It features a horizontal spindle with arbor support, powered by an 11 kW motor, enabling spindle speeds from 30 to 1500 rpm across 18 steps. The spindle uses an ISO 50 taper (7:24) for tool holding. The machine’s worktable measures 1700 mm by 400 mm, equipped with three T-slots (18 mm width, 90 mm spacing) and supports a maximum load of 800 kg. The table offers universal swiveling capabilities with a swivel angle of ±45°, allowing for flexible workpiece positioning during machining. The X6140 provides power feeds on all three axes with feed motor power rated at 1.5 kW. Table travels are approximately 900 mm longitudinally, 315 mm crosswise, and 350 mm vertically, with rapid traverse speeds of 2300 mm/min on XY axes and 770 mm/min on Z axis. The distance between the spindle axis and the table surface ranges from 30 to 380 mm, accommodating a variety of workpiece sizes. The machine weighs approximately 3950 to 4200 kg with overall dimensions of 2560 mm × 2160 mm × 2100 mm. Its sturdy construction and precise feed control make it suitable for heavy-duty milling tasks requiring high accuracy and versatility, particularly when combined with its universal swiveling table and horizontal spindle configuration. This setup supports effective machining of complex parts, enhancing workflow efficiency in manufacturing environments.
