Yama Seiki AWEA VMB-1600 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 59.000 inches in length by 30.000 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,300 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining applications. The machine offers optional support for index and rotary tables, enhancing versatility for complex part setups. The spindle is oriented vertically with a BT50 taper, compatible with CAT50 as an alternative, and delivers a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM, powered by a 25 HP motor (30-minute rating) for high-performance cutting. Tool management is handled by a swing arm automatic tool changer (ATC) with a capacity for 24 tools, ensuring efficient tool changeovers and uninterrupted production. The machine operates on three primary axes (X, Y, Z), each providing generous travel: 63.000 inches on the X-axis, 31.500 inches on the Y-axis, and 31.500 inches on the Z-axis. All axes support a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 591 inches per minute, enabling fast and precise movement for both roughing and finishing operations. The combination of a large worktable, high spindle power, versatile tooling, and rapid axis speeds makes this machining center ideal for demanding production environments requiring accuracy, rigidity, and efficiency in vertical milling tasks.
