Yama Seiki AWEA FM-99 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 41.73" x 35.43" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 5,500 lbs, making it ideal for heavy-duty and high-precision machining applications. The vertical spindle is equipped with a BT#40 taper and delivers a maximum speed of 16,000 RPM, powered by a 35 HP (30-minute rating) motor for high torque and efficient material removal. Tooling is managed by a 40-station arm-type automatic tool changer (ATC), with an optional expansion to 80 tools, ensuring rapid and reliable tool changes for complex operations. A pallet changer is available as an option for increased productivity. The machine operates on three standard axes (X, Y, Z), with the option to add a fourth axis for enhanced versatility. Axis travels are 35.43" (X), 35.43" (Y), and 25.98" (Z), supporting a wide range of part sizes and configurations. Maximum feed rates reach 943 ipm, while rapid traverse speeds achieve 1,886 ipm on all axes, enabling fast positioning and reduced cycle times. The combination of high spindle power, large table capacity, and rapid axis movement makes this machining center suitable for demanding production environments, mold making, and precision component manufacturing.
