The VKM/VPM 5-axis machining centres are vertical machining centres for the complete machining of lightweight structural components (VKM) and body parts (VPM) in the automotive industry. Lightweight construction is one of the key areas of modern industrial production. Reducing weight and achieving high strength at the same time is a typical requirement for structural components and body parts. To be able to offer our customers a powerful and reliable solution in lightweight construction too, we have expanded our product range by the VKM and VPM 5-axis machining centres.
A vertical machining centre with high dynamics and stability, long traversing paths and yet highly accurate machining results – at first, this sounds like a contradiction in terms. Our VKM 5-axis machining centres is the perfect reconciliation of these apparent opposites.
long traversing paths
translational axes in the tool, rotative axes in the workpiece
directly driven rotary axes
machine basic body as a stable, self-supporting and vibration-damping cube in a steel shell design, filled with vibration-damping material
low, easily movable kinetic masses for high speeds along steep acceleration ramps
access to the work area from two opposite sides
optimum chip flow
prepared for minimum quantity lubrication
tool change via pickup
simple automation thanks to a high degree of standardisation
ready for Industry 4.0: intuitive touchscreen control, evaluation and visualisation of process data, e-maintenance
