WELE UQ-400 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The WELE UQ-400 is a precision 4+1 axis vertical machining center designed for high-accuracy production and prototype machining. Featuring a direct-drive spindle operating at 12,000 RPM with BT40 taper compatibility, the machine delivers 11-15 kW continuous power (20 HP peak) and maximum torque of 70-95 Nm, enabling aggressive material removal across diverse applications. The system provides XYZ axis travels of 400/650/485mm (15.75/25.59/19.09 inches) with rapid feedrates reaching 36/36/24 m/min on linear axes, facilitating efficient cycle times for complex geometries. The machine incorporates WELE's proprietary backlash-free trunnion table mechanism, enabling simultaneous 4+1 axis machining with exceptional precision. The rotary A-axis tilts ±30° while the C-axis provides continuous 360° rotation, allowing complete workpiece accessibility and reduced setup times. The 320mm diameter circular table accommodates workpieces up to 400mm diameter × 300mm height with 200kg load capacity. Equipment includes a 24-pocket automatic tool changer with 1.1-second tool-to-tool capability, accepting tools up to 300mm length and 8kg weight. The FANUC 0iMF CNC controller provides intuitive programming and machine management. Standard accessories feature spindle oil cooling, centralized lubrication, chip conveyors, and coolant-through-spindle capability. Machine dimensions of 2,950×2,350mm footprint with 3,140mm height and 6,500kg weight suit mid-size production environments. The UQ-400 delivers production-grade precision for mold manufacturing, aerospace components, and complex multi-axis applications.
