Yama Seiki AWEA AF-1600 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 66.93 inches in length by 31.5 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,300 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining applications. The spindle is oriented vertically with a CAT#40 taper, delivering a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM and a 30-minute power rating of 20 HP, ensuring high performance for demanding milling tasks. Tooling is managed by a 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC), providing efficient tool exchange and minimizing downtime. The machine operates on three primary axes (X, Y, Z) with travel distances of 62.99 inches, 31.5 inches, and 31.5 inches respectively. Each axis supports a maximum feed rate of 394 ipm and a rapid traverse rate of 1,179 ipm, enabling fast and precise movements for improved productivity. The absence of a U axis and pallet changer indicates a focus on standard three-axis operations without additional rotary or automated workpiece handling features. This configuration is ideal for shops requiring reliable, high-capacity vertical machining with strong spindle performance and efficient tool management, suitable for a wide range of industrial applications including mold making, aerospace, and general manufacturing.
