The VM3018IL from Milltronics is a vertical machining centre with XYZ travels of 30 by 18 by 22 in. It is equipped with a 40-taper, BIG-PLUS, dual-contact inline spindle that runs smooth and quiet with minimal heat and reduced vibration, the company says. The 12,000-RPM inline spindle has a dual-wound spindle motor for fast acceleration/deceleration and more torque.
The machine includes the 9000 series control, which includes 120 GB of disk storage, 4 GB of memory, improved graphic performance, mid-travel tactile keys, and a 15-in. LCD touchscreen. The control allows operators to run parts programmed conversationally or by toolpaths generated by a CAM system.
The control also supports the optional ChipBoss feature that uses proprietary algorithms to calculate toolpaths and control maximum allowable cutter engagement. This feature lets the operator use the whole length of a tool to cut profiles at full depth, rather than using only the tip and taking multiple depth passes.
