Willemin-Macodel W-418 B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC machine features a compact 2.36" x 2.36" square table supporting workpieces up to 110 lbs, suitable for precise vertical milling operations. It is equipped with a vertical spindle offering an ISO 25 taper with an option for ISO 30, supporting speeds up to 12,000 RPM (18,000 RPM optional) powered by a 9 HP motor rated for 30 minutes continuous operation. The spindle design supports high-speed machining with robust tool holding and stability facilitated by industry-standard ISO taper interfaces. The tool management system includes an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a capacity for 90 tools, expandable to 180, enabling rapid tool switching in 1 second with a 5-second chip-to-chip time, enhancing production efficiency. An optional pallet changer supports 2 pallets, extendable to 10, facilitating continuous machining and minimizing downtime. The machine operates on 5 axes, with XYZ travels of 19.69", 9.84", and 15.75" respectively, and a B-axis rotary capability of 110°, all with rapid traverse rates of 787 inches per minute, allowing complex part geometries and multi-sided machining in a single setup. This combination of high-speed spindle, extensive tooling capacity, precise multi-axis control, and versatile workholding makes it ideal for manufacturing intricate components with tight tolerances, such as composites, aerospace parts, molds, and dies. The ISO taper spindle ensures compatibility with a wide range of tooling, providing rigidity and accuracy critical for high-precision CNC milling applications.
