VESTA Series

Built to order. Ask for lead time.

Overview

1,050 mm X travel on box ways, gear-driven spindle

The VESTA-1050B is a box-way vertical machining center with a gear-driven spindle, built for heavy cutting on parts. The Y axis runs on a 4-guide box way that is precision scraped, and the 2-speed gear spindle gives high torque at low rpm. It has 1,050 / 600 / 600 mm of travel over a 1,150 x 600 mm table rated for 1,000 kg. The spindle is BT-40 to 8,000 rpm as standard, or BT-50 to 6,000 rpm as an option.

Features

014-guide box wayThe Y axis runs on a double box way with four guides, widened for bearing support. The ways are precision scraped to absorb vibration.
022-speed gear-driven spindleAn auto-shifting 2-speed gearbox gives high torque at low rpm: up to 481 Nm (15 min, 25% duty) on the standard 8,000 rpm BT-40 spindle.
03BT-40 or BT-50BT-40 at 8,000 rpm is standard. BT-50 at 6,000 rpm is an option and takes tools up to Ø245 mm, 350 mm long and 20 kg.
04Optional index tableHwacheon's index table runs without a separate 4-axis interface, clamps at 4.3 tons and divides in 5 degree steps.
05Chip removalA wide-angle sliding cover, flushing nozzles on each side of the table and a front coil conveyor clear chips from the work zone.
