Yama Seiki AWEA BM 1600 (40) VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large worktable measuring 66.93" x 31.5" capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,400 lbs, enabling heavy-duty machining tasks. The vertical spindle uses a BT#40 taper with a top speed of 10,000 RPM, optionally up to 12,000 RPM, powered by a robust 15 HP motor rated for 30-minute operation, ensuring high torque for diverse material cutting. The machine is equipped with a 20-position automatic tool changer (ATC) allowing fast tool changes in approximately 1.5 seconds, optimizing productivity. The machine operates on a three-axis (X, Y, Z) motion system with travels of 62.99", 31.5", and 31.5" respectively, each axis capable of a max feed rate of 314 inches per minute and a rapid traverse rate of 787 inches per minute. This combination delivers precise and efficient machining capabilities suited for medium to large workpieces requiring substantial rigidity and accuracy. The tool carrier supports a variety of BT40 tooling, beneficial for applications demanding versatile tool changes and high machining precision. The machine's dimensional and power ratings make it suitable for industries requiring machining of heavy parts with complex geometries. This configuration balances high spindle power, rapid axis movement, and broad tooling capability, ideal for precise production in aerospace, automotive, or heavy machinery manufacturing contexts.
