NEW 15000RPM, HIGH PRECISION VMC

For jobs that require high speed drilling, tapping and light duty milling with super fine finish, Chevalier has the new FTC-1320V traveling column vertical machining center with 20"x13"x10" XYZ travels. The machine peaks at 15,000rpm at traveling speeds of 1417ipm on XY and 1181ipm on Z axes with +/-0.0001" positioning accuracy and +/-0.00008" repeatability. A bi-directional access, cam type tool changer does random tool call-up at shortest pass, resulting in 0.8 secs. tool change. A servo-driven turntable provides smooth acceleration and deceleration. The turntable turns 180° in 2 seconds flat. Workpiece loading and unloading can be achieved during the machining cycle - ZERO loading and unloading time. All three axes use super precision THK SNS linear guideways for speed and accuracy. Controlling the machine's functions is the Mitsubishi 64M series, known in the industry for high speed processing and reduced wiring in a compact unit. The 64M series offers an array of features specifically designed for smaller machine models: 64 bit RISC processor; serial link for servos, spindle, DI/DO and display to reduce wiring; improved PLC capabilities with its PLC-dedicated LSI and AC digital CNC and servo. The spindle is fully supported by angular contact ball bearings mounted at a 15° angle for optimum rigidity and accuracy during high speed machining. A small fooprint (61"x132" total floor area requirement) makes it ideal for factory automation and machining cells. Standard accessories include 16 tool ATC, turntable, alarm lamps and automatic door with safety switch.
