VTEC VF-4000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust workspace with travel dimensions of 165" on the X-axis, 90" on the Y-axis, and 40" on the Z-axis, accommodating large-scale workpieces and tooling requirements. The machine frame supports a maximum load capacity of 28,660 lbs with a table size of 165" x 80", and a column spacing of 94" providing structural stability. The spindle, taper CT 50, offers a versatile speed range up to 6,000 RPM and a distance from spindle nose to table adjustable between 5.9" and 42", enabling flexible machining heights. It is powered by a high-torque motor delivering 24 HP continuous power and up to 29 HP for 30-minute intervals, ensuring sustained performance under heavy load. Equipped with a Fanuc 18iMB CNC controller, it offers precise axis control and high reliability. Tool management is handled through a 40-station automatic tool changer, enabling efficient multi-tool operations. Additional features include a manual pulse generator for fine manual axis adjustments, chip augers for automated chip removal, and a spindle oil cooler that enhances spindle life and thermal stability during prolonged cutting cycles. This combination of mechanical capacity, powerful drive, advanced control system, and auxiliary functions makes the machine suitable for demanding precision milling, die making, mold manufacturing, and heavy-duty machining applications requiring high throughput and accuracy.
