About this machine
Designed for superior accuracy and stability under heavy cutting conditions, this Performance Large Series of Vertical Machining Centers features a unique T-base design and twin-layer broad column structure. These features effectively absorb vibrations and balance the machine during high-load machining, ensuring precision and durability.
Ideal for heavy material removal directly from castings and forgings, these machines are widely used in industries such as injection molding, investment casting, shell casting, forging dies, pressure die casting, pattern making, and general production work.
Is a vertical machining centre right for your part?
3-, 4- and 5-axis VMCs for prismatic parts, dies, moulds, housings and brackets.
Size a VMC from your largest part plus fixture (X/Y/Z travel and table), choose BT-40 for general work, BT-50 for heavy cuts or HSK and high rpm for finishing, and count the tools in your longest program.
Send your part drawing, material and monthly quantity, and we will confirm whether this machine fits – or suggest one that fits better.
Questions buyers ask
What is the lead time for this machine?
New machines are built to order. We confirm the lead time and the exact configuration – control, spindle, tool changer and options – with your quote.
What size VMC do I need?
Your largest part plus fixture and tool clearance in X, Y and Z, with table size and load to match. A 20–25% margin covers most future work.
Which control is best on a VMC?
Fanuc, Siemens and Mitsubishi are all proven. Choose the one your programmers and service partners know best.
Do I need a 4th axis?
If you machine several faces or hole patterns around a part, a 4th-axis rotary table saves setups. True 5-axis is needed for blades, impellers and complex moulds.
Is installation and training included?
Installation, commissioning and operator training are listed in the quote, so you know exactly what is included.
