Overview
2,000 x 850 x 800 mm travels, 1,800 kg table load
The VESTA-2000 is a vertical machining center for parts machining with an 850 mm Y axis and roller LM guides on every axis. Travels are 2,000 / 850 / 800 mm over a 2,000 x 850 mm table rated for 1,800 kg. The direct-coupled spindle is BT-40 at 10,000 rpm as standard, with 12,000 and 15,000 rpm options, or BT-50 at 8,000 rpm with 287 Nm. Four coil conveyors carry chips out of the work area.

Features
- 01Roller LM guides on every axisAll three axes run on high-rigidity roller LM guides, and the Y axis uses four guide rails for saddle rigidity.
- 022,000 x 850 mm tableThe table carries 1,800 kg on seven 18 mm T-slots at 125 mm pitch.
- 03Spindle optionsBT-40 at 10,000 rpm is standard, with 12,000 and 15,000 rpm options (18.5 kW, 117.8 Nm on FANUC). A BT-50 spindle runs to 8,000 rpm with 15 kW and 287 Nm. SIEMENS and HEIDENHAIN versions carry their own spindle ratings.
- 04Four coil conveyorsFour coil conveyors carry chips out of the work area, and a stepped coolant tank keeps the front of the table accessible.
- 05Magazines for either taperThe magazine holds 30 BT-40 tools, or 24 BT-50 tools with 30 as an option. HSK-A63 and HSK-A100 shanks are options.
