Overview
Twin BBT-40 spindles over a 1,400 x 600 mm table
The VESTA-650T is the 40-taper twin-spindle VESTA: two direct-coupled BBT-40 spindles on independent Z and W axes, each with its own 30-tool magazine. It is built for mass production of small parts, with both spindles working over a 1,400 x 600 mm table rated for 800 kg and 650 / 650 / 700 mm of travel. The spindles run to 12,000 rpm as standard or 15,000 rpm as an option, at 18.5 kW and 117.7 Nm. Spindle centers sit 525 mm apart, with 575 and 625 mm as options.
