Vision Wide HF-4235-10235/42 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust rectangular table sized 157" x 118" with an optional extension up to 236" x 118", supporting workpieces up to 44,000 lbs, making it suitable for very large and heavy components. The machine operates with a vertical spindle taper #50 capable of speeds up to 6,000 RPM standard and optionally 10,000 RPM, driven by a 35 HP motor rated for 30-minute intervals, with an optional upgrade to 50 HP, ensuring high power and torque for heavy-duty machining. Equipped with an automatic tool changer holding 40 tools standard and optionally up to 60, the center supports efficient tool management though no pallet changer or rotary/support tables are included. It supports 3-axis machining as standard—with an optional 4th axis—covering travel ranges of 165" (X, optional 401"), 137" (Y, optional 165"), and 36.2" (Z, optional 55.11"). Maximum feed rates are 275 inches per minute with rapid traverses reaching 393 inches per minute, enabling quick and precise positioning. This configuration combines large work envelope, extremely high load capacity, and powerful spindle options, making it ideal for machining large metal parts with high precision. The absence of rotary or support index tables indicates focus on linear axis machining with heavy, large-format workpieces. Its design suits industries requiring heavy material removal and versatile tooling capabilities, such as aerospace, mold making, or heavy equipment manufacturing.
