Willemin-Macodel W-408 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a 5.910" x 5.910" worktable supporting up to 50 lbs of workpiece weight. It is equipped with two vertical main spindles, each featuring an ISO 25 taper for tool holding, enabling high-precision and stable tool alignment. The spindles operate up to 12,000 RPM standard, with an optional speed boost to 18,000 RPM, powered by 4 HP motors rated for 30-minute duty cycles. The automatic tool changer holds 24 tools as standard, expandable to 48, allowing rapid 1-second tool changes and 5-second chip-to-chip tool change times for high productivity. The machine supports 5-axis control with travels of 9.840" in X, 7.870" in Y, and 11.810" in Z axes, each with rapid traverse speeds of 786 ipm (inches per minute). The B axis rotary table provides 140° rotation, enabling complex multi-axis machining operations. The spindle's ISO 25 taper ensures accurate, repeatable tool positioning with minimal runout, suitable for precise machining at high speeds. The combination of dual spindles and a high-capacity ATC maximizes throughput for small to medium parts with complex geometries, while the compact table size supports versatile setups in limited shop floor space. The machine balances speed, precision, and flexibility for advanced vertical machining applications.
