Yama Seiki AWEA FM-45 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **31.49" x 17.72" fixed table** capable of supporting workpieces up to **2,200 lbs**, providing robust capacity for medium to large parts. The spindle is vertically oriented, equipped with a **BT#40 taper** as standard and optionally upgradeable to **HSK-A63**, delivering up to **16,000 RPM** with a **39 HP (30-minute rating)** motor for high-speed and powerful machining operations. Tooling is managed via an **arm-type automatic tool changer (ATC)**, holding **40 tools** as standard with an option to expand to 60, enabling varied and complex tool sets for flexible machining. An optional pallet changer enhances workpiece handling efficiency. The machine operates on a **3-axis configuration**, with optional 4-axis capability. Axis travels include **X: 23.62"**, **Y: 17.72"**, and **Z: 17.72"**, all featuring a maximum feed rate of **943 ipm** and rapid traverse speeds up to **1,886 ipm**, facilitating fast and precise tool paths. This combination of high spindle power, rapid axis movements, and substantial workpiece capacity makes the center suitable for high-performance milling, drilling, and tapping in demanding industrial manufacturing environments, particularly where larger or heavier workpieces require stable, accurate machining.
