Overview

800 x 550 x 550 mm travels, 12,000 rpm BBT-40 spindle

The VESTA-800 is a C-frame vertical machining center for everyday parts production, and shares its catalog and spindle line-up with the VESTA-1100. It runs on roller LM guides on all three axes over a reinforced base and column with a low center of gravity. Travels are 800 / 550 / 550 mm over a 1,000 x 550 mm table rated for 600 kg, and the BBT-40 spindle runs to 12,000 rpm at 18.5 kW and 117.8 Nm. The PRO version runs to 15,000 rpm and raises the X and Y rapids from 36 to 42 m/min.

Features

01Roller LM guides on all axesA reinforced base and column, roller LM guides on X, Y and Z and a low center of gravity carry the 800 / 550 / 550 mm travels.
021,000 x 550 mm tableThe table carries 600 kg on five 18 mm T-slots at 90 mm pitch.
03Three spindle choices12,000 rpm at 18.5 kW and 117.8 Nm is standard. A 10,000 rpm spindle at 11 / 7.5 kW is an option, and the PRO runs 15,000 rpm with air-oil lubrication.
04Faster PRO versionThe VESTA-800 PRO raises the X and Y rapids from 36 to 42 m/min, about 17 percent, and pairs them with the 15,000 rpm spindle.
05Hwacheon software standardHECC contour control, HTDC thermal control, HAI (200 block), HTLD tool load detection and OPTIMA feed control are standard on the FANUC 0i-MF Plus.
06Coolant and chip optionsThe 390 L coolant tank grows to 690 L with the optional sub tank. Ring-around flood coolant is standard; rear or side lift-up chip conveyors are options.
