New VMC with FANUC Series 0i-MODEL D Control



Republic Lagun will feature its 4020 vertical machining center (VMC) in action as it interacts with FANUC robot technology at IMTS.

The VMC is made from Meehanite castings with heavily ribbed construction for increased rigidity, strength and dimensional stability with enhanced wear characteristics. The machines are modular in design, allowing the customer to create custom machines by selecting the axis travels, spindle power, automatic tool changers, CNC controls and other machine features.

"Each machine comes with heavy-duty ram built construction, providing durable, well-built units for all specialty milling needs," said a company spokesperson. "Regardless of customer requirements, Republic Lagun CNC machines are built to withstand multiple vigorous tasks, from faster heavy-duty cutting to 3, 4, 5 axes interpolations for complex parts."

Standard features and options:

  • Machine weight: 11,440 lbs. (5,200 kg)
  • 8,000 RPM direct drive spindle with air purged spindle head
  • Rectangular box ways on all three axes (XYZ) featuring friction-free Turcite liners. Rectangular square box ways are hardened and ground and provide a large contact surface area for increased vibration damping and rigidity. Rectangular box ways feature thick Turcite pads with enhanced lubrication distribution for a smooth and low coefficient of friction.
  • Spindle taper: CT 40/ BT 40
  • 24-tool automatic tool changer
  • 2,200 lbs. (1,000 kg) of tool clamping force
  • High table load capacity of 1,100 lbs. (500 kg)
  • Automatic lubrication
  • 60 gal capacity flood coolant system with 21 GPM flow
  • Halogen work light
  • 24 hour service response
  • 2 year warranty
  • Every machine is laser verified & U.L. approved.

Machine performance:

  • Motor power (30 min rating, 50% ED): 15 HP
  • Max torque: 73 ft-lbs. / 1,500 RPM
  • Rapid traverse: 1,000 IPM
  • Cutting feedrate: 0-400 IPM
  • Feedrate override: 0-150%.
  • FANUC Series 0i-Model D control specifications:
  • Supports 8 axes in total and up to 4 axes simultaneous interpolation
  • 10.4" color LCD
  • Advanced interpolation modes:
    • Polar coordinate interpolation for direct input of part features that are specified by angle and length
    • Helical interpolation for high-speed, high-quality pocketing
    • Cylindrical interpolation for cylindrical groove cutting
  • 16 languages supported
  • High-speed Ethernet interface allows the CNC to be integrated into a network for high-speed part program transfers and the collection of process related data. It also supports remote troubleshooting.

Available options include:

  • 4th and 5th axis capability
  • 10,000 RPM / 12,000 RPM spindle
  • Increased z-axis travel
  • 32 tool automatic tool changer
  • Coolant through spindle
  • Explosion proof - Customized Explosion Proof units can withstand tough explosive materials such as magnesium, solid rocket fuel and more.

Republic Lagun CNC VMCs now also incorporate FANUC robots to help manufacturers increase production with innovation and automation.
