VIGEL TW500H HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The VIGEL TW500H is a 5-axis horizontal machining center engineered for flexible, high-volume production with exceptional precision. This machine features twin spindles and a double spindle configuration, enabling productivity multipliers of 2 to 4 times compared to single-spindle alternatives. The work envelope dimensions are X-axis 19.685 inches, Y-axis 35.433 inches, and Z-axis 19.685 inches, accommodating medium-sized workpieces. The machine utilizes HSK-A-63 tool taper for rapid tool changes with a 60-tool magazine capacity. Control is provided by Siemens Sinumerik CNC, ensuring reliable and precise operations. The TW500H features rapid traverse speeds up to 70 m/min on the Z-axis and includes 4th and 5th axis capability for complex multi-sided machining in a single setup. Its modular box-in-box structure design provides robustness and accuracy at high operating speeds, making it suitable for both light and heavy executions. The machine incorporates a 0°-180° pallet changer enabling load/unload operations during active machining, significantly improving cycle times and reducing downtime. With a spindle speed of 8,000 RPM and 20 kW rated power, it delivers peak performance for diverse applications. The twin-table or single-table configuration options allow customization to specific production requirements. This horizontal machining center represents Vigel's commitment to delivering space-efficient solutions with minimal footprint and maximum productivity per square meter.
