Mitsui Seiki’s new Vertex 100 5-axis vertical machining centre (VMC) is a compact, high-speed machine capable of milling large parts such as blisks. It can machine workpieces 1,250 mm dia. and 850 mm tall, while occupying only 3 m by 4.2 m of shop floor space.
The X, Y, and Z axis strokes are 1,000, 900, and 750 mm, respectively. Maximum swing diameter is 1480 mm. Multiple taper sizes and spindle options are available.
A 60-tool ATC handles maximum tool lengths of 300 mm and maximum tool diameters of 125 mm (CAT 40/HSK A 63) or 160 mm (CAT 50/ HSK A 100).
The machine’s tilt/rotary table is supported by the cast iron base and enables rotation speed up to 100 RPM. The table’s C-axis motors are direct-drive, while the A axis has tandem direct-drive motors.
The X and Z axes of the machine are driven by single ball screws, with dual ball screws on the Y axis. The linear axes are capable of 1-G acceleration and deceleration. The machine’s FANUC control features a 375-mm LCD HMI.
