Yama Seiki AWEA BM 1400 (40) VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a 59.06" x 31.5" worktable capable of supporting workpieces up to 2,178 lbs, enabling heavy-duty machining operations. It is equipped with a vertical spindle using a BT#40 taper, delivering up to 15 HP (30-minute rating) and a maximum spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 12,000 RPM. The spindle supports a 20-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) with a rapid tool change time of 1.5 seconds, enhancing production efficiency. The machine operates on a 3-axis system (X, Y, Z) with travels of 55.12", 31.5", and 27.56", respectively, each axis capable of a maximum feed rate of 314 inches per minute and a rapid traverse rate of 787 inches per minute. The robust feed and rapid traverse rates enable rapid material removal and precise positioning. The machine’s large travel range combined with its powerful spindle and high-capacity table makes it suitable for machining large, heavy components with tight tolerances. The ATC tool capacity and fast changeover support complex and varied machining cycles without lengthy downtime. This configuration is optimized for precision milling, drilling, and complex part production in industries requiring heavy workpiece handling and versatile tooling. Optional 4-axis capability allows for enhanced flexibility in advanced machining applications. Overall, the system offers a balance of power, workspace, and tool management to accommodate demanding vertical CNC machining tasks.
