Technical Description
This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 157.0 x 118.0 inches, with an optional extended length of 236.0 inches, supporting maximum workpiece weights up to 44,000 lbs. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle featuring a #50 taper, capable of speeds up to 6,000 RPM standard and 10,000 RPM as an option, delivering 35 HP (30-minute rating) standard and 50 HP as an option for demanding machining tasks. Tooling is managed by a 40-position automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable to 60 tools, ensuring efficient tool management for complex operations. The machine operates on three primary axes (X, Y, Z), with optional fourth-axis capability, providing flexibility for advanced machining requirements. Axis travels are substantial, with X-axis movement up to 165.0 inches (extendable to 401.0 inches), Y-axis up to 157.0 inches (extendable to 185.0 inches), and Z-axis up to 36.2 inches (extendable to 55.110 inches), accommodating large workpieces. Maximum feed rates reach 275 ipm, while rapid traverse speeds achieve 393 ipm across all axes, ensuring high productivity and precision. The design supports a wide range of applications, including heavy-duty milling, drilling, boring, and tapping, making it suitable for industries requiring large-scale, high-accuracy machining.
