Machine Design

• The innovative machine base design features a low center of gravity for excellent rigidity, allowing high-precision machining of workpieces with weights up to 1200 kg
• With extensive experience and modern FEM analysis tools for the simulation of countless load conditions, it was possible to guarantee superior stability of the machine frame in real-world applications
• One development goal was to achieve a space-saving, compact design
• Linear roller guides on all axes provide high load capacities, maximum rigidity and smooth motion ensuring the high dynamics needed to optimally handle high loads
• Powerful servo-drives connect directly to large preloaded ball screws providing zero-loss high torque transmission

Main spindle

• Main spindle runs on multiple bearings to ensure excellent absorption and dissipation of forces during machining
• The advanced design of our spindles ensure low heat accumulation under load
• Large pre-loaded bearings ensure radial stability during heavy-duty machining operations
• High-temperature lubricants ensure optimum lubrication at any operating temperature and a long tool life
• Clamping the tool between contact surfaces at the taper and workpiece flange ensures maximum hold of the tool in the spindle

Tool Changer

• The VECTOR is equipped with the best tool changer to allow full utilization of the machining center’s capacity
• With only 1.8 seconds tool changing time, the dual-arm gripper also is one of the fastest tool changers on the market

Handling

• The totally enclosed workspace features a large door and side doors for easy access, safety and cleanliness
• Electrical equipment is divided into separate control cabinets for high and low voltage systems, which results in a significant reduction of heat accumulation and noise
• An electronic hand-wheel simplifies machine set-up
• The automatic central lubrication system ensures proper lubrication of all lube points
