5-axis Machining Centers

VTC

Traveling column vertical machining center for 5-axis machining
  • Machining of complex workpiece contours by simultaneous 5-axis machining*1
  • Machining at any angle of vertical, horizontal, and slanted surfaces with ±110° B-axis swiveling head, increasing productivity through process integration.
  • 3500 mm × 820 mm long table allows machining of long workpieces, multiple pieces, and can be used as a 2-pallet changer.*2
  • 18000 min -1 high output spindle for machining a variety of materials from aluminum to steel

*1: VTC-800/30SR requires an optional NC rotary table.
*2: Optional fixed table for VTC-800/30SDR has different dimensions.

Swivel axis enables various machining

B-axis swiveling head

The b-axis swiveling head with a swivel range of 220° performs indexing at 0.0001° increments with a zero-backlash roller gear cam and servo motor.

Index coupling can be clamped every 5° increments and is suitable for heavy-duty cutting.

In addition, any angle of vertical, horizontal, and slanted surfaces can be machined, improving productivity through process integration.

High-performance spindle for a variety of production requirements

The VTC-800/30 series has a 18000 min-1, 35 kW (47 HP) [50% ED] high output spindle.

The spindle can be used to cut various materials, including aluminum, cast iron, and steel.

High speed operation

The advanced control system, servo motors, and roller guides maximize the capacity of the high-performance spindle and achieve the fastest rapid traverse rates, and feedrates, in its class. This reduces non-cutting time.

Rapid traverse rate (X-, Y-, Z-axis) 50000 mm/min

NC rotary table (option)*

Selecting the optional NC rotary table enables simultaneous 5-axis machining.

The rotary table, which can be placed horizontally or vertically, can also be placed on either side of the machine table.

The same roller gear cam as the B-axis allows contour machining.

Removable center partition (option)*

By dividing the machining area with an optional center partition, one side can be machining while the other side is installing next workpiece, thereby increasing productivity.

Mounting the optional NC rotary table on both sides enables much higher-value machining.

* Compatible with VTC-800/30SR only

Dual synchronized rotary tables*

Ideal for machining long 5-axis workpieces such as air craft parts

The VTC-800/30SDR has a dual synchronized rotary tables and, by eliminating the fixed table, a highly effective chip disposal.

This is an ideal solution for machining aerospace components which require high-accuracy simultaneous 5-axis machining and high material removal rates.
