3-axis machining center VMC1050

verticalBT 4024 tools

Overview
The VMC1050 is a 3-axis CNC vertical machining center engineered for medium-sized parts and mold components in industrial applications such as automotive and aerospace. It delivers high-speed machining, rigid structural stability and multi-operation flexibility for milling, drilling, tapping and boring.

Model Details

• X, Y, Z travel: 1000 × 500 × 600 mm
• Maximum feed rate (X/Y/Z): 10,000 mm/min
• Maximum rapid traverse (X/Y/Z): 32 / 32 / 24 m/min

Key Features

• Travel Range: 1000 mm (X), 500 mm (Y), 600 mm (Z) suited to medium-sized components and molds.
• High-Speed Capability: Max feed 10,000 mm/min and rapid traverse up to 32 m/min on X/Y axes to reduce cycle time.
• Multi-Operation: Supports milling, drilling, tapping, boring and common machining tasks in a single setup.
• Precision & Repeatability: Repeat positioning accuracy ±0.004 mm for tight tolerance production.
• Rigid Construction: Robust design to maintain stability during heavy cutting and long cycles.

Recommended Configurations

• Spindle: High-precision options (SKF, NSK); optional center coolant spindle.
• Feed Drive: Servo motors with ball screws and linear guideways.
• Cooling: Centrifugal or vibration pumps; water-soluble or oil-based coolant systems.
• CNC Control: FANUC, Siemens, GSK, KND, SYNTEC, Mitsubishi (high-performance controllers supported).
• Tooling: Disc, chain-type or linear tool changers.
• Probing & Monitoring: Heidenhain linear scales, Renishaw probes (OMP60, TS27R), tool breakage detection.
• Optional Equipment: Chip conveyor, oil mist collector, oil cooler, coolant tank, multi-axis robot integration.

Application Case

• Workpiece: Precision mold cavities and small structural components.
• Setup: VMC1050 fitted with automatic tool changer and chip conveyor for combined roughing and finishing.
• Outcome: Achieved tight tolerances (example ±0.005 mm on complex mold features), ~20% cycle time reduction via high-speed cutting and automated tool changes, improved surface finish and reduced tool wear with optimized cooling.
• Customer Benefit: Increased throughput by consolidating rough and finish operations in a single setup.
