Vertical CNC machining center VECTOR 1000 M Si

SK4024 toolscompact

Overview
The VECTOR 1000 M SI is a compact, preconfigured vertical CNC machining centre engineered for complex production tasks. Designed with FEM analysis and manufactured under strict quality control, the machine frame features Meehanite casting and a delta column for high structural stability. Components and layouts support multi-shift operation and industrial automation integration.

Key features

• Extra-wide Y-shaped Meehanite column for maximum rigidity
• 30-bar internal spindle coolant (CTS) option for improved chip evacuation and surface quality
• Dual-arm tool changer with 24 stations for high tool capacity
• High rapid feeds and work feeds for efficient cycle times
• Siemens Sinumerik 828D control with ShopMill and ProgramGUIDE

Machine design & components
