Technical Description
The Yama Seiki AWEA FMV-99 is a high-performance 5-axis vertical machining center designed for precision and heavy-duty machining tasks. It features a robust 35.43" x 35.43" worktable supporting workpieces up to 2,200 lbs, with an optional slightly smaller 31.49" x 31.49" table size. The vertical spindle uses a BT#40 taper, delivering up to 16,000 RPM with a 35 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, enabling efficient high-speed cutting. The machine employs an arm-type automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 40 tools, expandable to 80 tools, and an optional pallet changer for increased productivity.
The FMV-99’s 5 axes include X, Y, Z travels of 31.5", 35.43", and 25.98", respectively, with rapid traverse rates up to 1,886 ipm on linear axes and a 150° rotational axis (A). The machine’s structure combines a heavy-duty roller linear guideway system and a rigid gantry-style U-shaped frame for superior rigidity and precision. The A and C rotary axes use direct-drive motors with rotary encoders, optimizing power transmission and energy efficiency.
Additional features include a circular hydraulic brake system for stable high-speed rotary table braking, integrated spindle and axis cooling, and a compact design with easy maintenance access. The combination of high-speed spindle, heavy load capacity, advanced 5-axis control, and flexible tooling options makes the AWEA FMV-99 suitable for complex, multi-face machining of materials such as aluminum, steel, and titanium in aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering industries.
