Vertical Machining Centers
VCN
High-performance vertical machining centers with enhanced cutting performance
- Spindle rigidity and best balance of rigid machine structure for heavy-duty machining capacity
- Large machining area and table size with extended Y-axis travel
- Machine specifications and functions for stable high-accuracy machining
Tool shank (standard)
Maximum 54% increase in machining capacity, BT40 spindle as standard equipment
The 18.5 kW, 12000 min-1 specification standard spindle on the VCN-460 and VCN-600 has achieved 41% improvement in machining capacity for Φ80 mm face mills and 54% improvement for Φ50 mm end mills, compared to the conventional machines. In addition, Φ50 mm U-drilling and M30 tapping are available. The 18000 min-1 spindle with a built-in motor minimizes heat generation and vibration during high-speed rotation, making it ideal for metal mold and aluminum machining. (The 18000 min-1 spindle is an optional feature for the VCN-460 HDCC and VCN-600.)

Spindle rigidity and best balance of rigid machine structure
3D design with structural analysis
Using CAD FEA, the main machine components such as the bed and column are designed to minimize distortion. Compared to the conventional model, distortion on the column caused by heat displacement has been improved by 40%.
The low-vibration, high-performance spindle reduces thermal expansion by adopting outer cylinder cooling with machine temperature synchronization. Stable machining accuracy can be obtained.

Ultraspindle*
Electric motor spindle for high precision finishing
Two types of high-speed rotation are available; 60000 min-1 and 80000 min-1. It is suitable for surface finishing, micromachining, drilling, and mirror-finished machining, achieving excellent surface quality and high-precision. The ATC-enabled structure allows for rough machining, semi-finishing, and even super-finishing to be performed consecutively. It is highly effective when high-precision finishing using small diameter tools is required, such as for metal mold and semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts.
*Compatible models: VCN-460, VCN-600
Two types of high-speed rotation
60000 min-1 / 80000 min-1
- A single machine integrates all processes from rough machining to finishing
- No special program is required, and machining is performed with the same program as for regular tools
- The ATC-compatible compact spindle eliminates the need for operator intervention for setup changes before and after machining.
Machining example: Reflector metal mold for automobile lights (mirror-finishing)
| Size | 35 mm × 31.5 mm × 20 mm |
| Workpiece material | STAVAX (52HCR) |
| Tools | Φ2 mm ball end mill |
