Description

Overview
The VECTOR 850 M SI is a vertical CNC machining center engineered for compact, multi-shift production and complex part machining. Designed with FEM analysis and produced under strict quality control, the machine frame uses Meehanite castings and a delta column for increased stiffness and thermal stability.

Highlights
  • Extra-wide Y-shaped Meehanite column for maximum structural stability
  • 30-bar coolant-through-spindle (CTS) for improved chip evacuation and tool life
  • Dual-arm 24-position automatic tool changer for high flexibility
  • Designed for continuous multi-shift operation
  • Numerous customization and automation options; 2-year standard warranty

Machine design
  • Rigid C-frame construction with low center of gravity and compact footprint
  • 30 mm preloaded ball screws and digital drive package for rigid table guidance and high torque
  • Linear guides on X, Y and Z axes for high accuracy and low friction (roller-guide variants available)
  • Space-saving layout with wide front access doors for easy loading

Spindle
  • Multiple-bearing spindle for superior load absorption and dissipation
  • Spindle mount: SK 40 ISO 7388-1 (DIN 69871)
  • Standard spindle speed: 10,000 1/min; constant torque: 57 Nm
  • Spindle bearings: 7012 x 4; drive: belt drive

Tooling
  • Tool changer type: Dual-arm
  • Tool stations: 24 positions; tool selection: random memory
  • Max tool size Ø x L: 80 mm x 300 mm; max tool weight: 7 kg
  • Tool-change time tool/tool: 1.8 s; chip/chip: 3.9 s

Control / Software (Siemens SINUMERIK 828D)
  • Compact robust control with ShopMill for fast part programming
  • ProgramGUIDE and SINUMERIK MDynamics with Advanced Surface for series production and mold work
  • Animated Elements, graphical help, 3D simulation and modern data transfer via USB, CF and Ethernet
  • Optional measuring cycles, residual material detection and simultaneous recording
