Yama Seiki AWEA AF-860 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 39.3" x 23.62" with a maximum workpiece load capacity of 1,540 lbs, supporting heavy-duty machining tasks. It is equipped with a vertical spindle having a BT#40 taper, delivering up to 8,000 RPM and powered by a 15.00 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, allowing efficient material removal and moderate-to-heavy precision cutting. The machine operates on a 3-axis configuration (X, Y, Z) with travels of 33.86", 23.62", and 23.62" respectively, each axis capable of a maximum feed rate of 394 IPM and rapid traverse speeds of 1,418 IPM, enabling fast and accurate positioning. Tool management is handled by a 24-position Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), enhancing productivity through quick tool swaps, although no pallet changer is included. This configuration is optimized for machining medium-to-large parts requiring stable support and moderate spindle power, suitable for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery. The lack of a U axis simplifies operation but confines machining to 3-axis capabilities. Overall, this vertical machining center blends substantial work envelope, high spindle power, and effective tooling capacity to support versatile manufacturing and machining applications requiring precise, heavy-duty milling, drilling, and boring operations.
