Q1: What is the full name of the machine and its main application industries?
A: The full name of the equipment isVertical Machining Center (VMC). It is a high-precision and high-efficiency CNC machining equipment, widely used in automotive parts, mold manufacturing, aerospace, hardware machinery, medical equipment, 3C electronic products, hydraulic parts and general mechanical processing fields. It is suitable for mass production and high-precision mold processing of various metal workpieces.
Q2: What material and technology are used for machine castings?
A: Key castings including base, column and saddle are made of HT300 high-strength cast iron with resin sand molding. All castings go through two times of stress relief aging treatment to remove internal stress, avoid long-term deformation and precision loss, and maintain stable rigidity and machining accuracy.
Q3: What spindle taper & spindle drive options are available for different vertical machining centers?
A: Model 855 & 1160: BT40 spindle taper; Model 1370 & 1580: BT50 spindle taper.
Four spindle drive types optional with typical speed range: Belt-driven spindle, Max. 8,000–10,000 rpm, balanced torque, suitable for general mold & metal machining. Direct-coupled spindle, Max. 12,000–15,000 rpm, stable high-speed performance for precision finishing. Gearbox spindle, Max. 6,000–8,000 rpm, low-speed high torque, ideal for heavy-duty rough cutting of steel. Motorized spindle, Max. 18,000–24,000 rpm, ultra-high speed, low vibration for aluminum & high-precision components. We can match proper spindle configuration according to your actual machining materials and requirements.
Q4: What guideway configuration for different VMC models?
A: Model 855 & 1160: 3 linear guide rails; Model 1370 & 1580: 2 linear rails + 1 hard rail hybrid configuration. All guide rails adopt HIWIN brand; ball screws are THK brand with C3 precision grade, featuring high rigidity, stable precision and long service life.
Q5: What CNC systems can be equipped?
A: We support mainstream international CNC systems including FANUC, SIEMENS, Mitsubishi, as well as cost-effective domestic control systems. Imported systems fit high-precision mold processing, while domestic systems are easy to operate and reliable for general mechanical machining.
