VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Vector 1000 M Si (15" Multitouch-Panel/BT40)

Highlights

• Rigid machine structure with extra deep center of gravity and small footprint

Machine Design

• 30 mm preloaded ball screws combined with a digital drive package provide a rigid table guide and high torque
• A major focus during development of this machine was a space-saving design
• Dual-arm tool changer with 24 stations ensures adequate flexibility and capacity for every day production needs
• The Vector Series features linear guides on X, Y and Z to ensure high accuracy made possible by lower friction

Spindle

• Spindle runs on multiple bearings to ensure excellent absorption and dissipation of forces during machining

Tool Changer

• Changing times (1.8 seconds tool-to-tool and 3.9 seconds chip-to-chip) increase spindle up-time and machine output

Includes option 253674: The Sinumerik 828D CNC control is equipped with a 10.4-inch monitor as standard. This machine has been upgraded to a 15-inch multitouch-panel..

Advantages:

• Larger display area and improved clarity
• Improved ergonomics and usability
• More information at a glance
• Higher productivity and efficiency

This machine also only has the standard coolant system with chip flushing. Cooling through the spindle (CTS) has been omitted here.
