VMC Features High-Accuracy Package



Mitsui Seiki has evolved its Vertex 750-5X line of machines with new features and capabilities, along with a broader range of options and configurations within the series. The new series, comprising six distinct models, is now called Vertex 75X II. Linear axes (XYZ) strokes are 750 mm (29.5") x 800 mm (31.4") x 700 mm (27.5").

"One of the key new features is an enhanced high accuracy package," said a company spokesperson. "This option enhances Mitsui Seiki's existing construction techniques for accuracy and precision. As such, the Vertex line of machines is well suited for tight-tolerance mold and die work, aerospace, energy and other high precision component applications. Users can gain significant production improvements by eliminating the traditional machine warm up time for very demanding precision jobs.

Positioning accuracy in X, Y and Z axes is 0.001 mm (0.000040"). A-axis: +/-6 arc seconds; C-axis: +/-4 arc seconds.

Mitsui Seiki now offers a new 30,000 RPM spindle with the Vertex 75X II, in addition to the 15,000, 18,000 and 25,000 RPM choices. "Customers can now take full advantage of the machine's acceleration and deceleration characteristics and high-speed machining functions," said the spokesperson. An HSK-80 taper spindle connection (for those requiring more heavy-duty machining) is available as an option to complement the existing HSK-63 and 40-taper tool interfaces.

The Vertex 75X II line includes several configurations in the range, based on table sizes and types from 225 mm (9") to 500 mm (19.7") diameter. A choice of rotary axis drive system s- high torque geared type or direct drive - allows for the optimum machine configuration to suit customer needs.

"The Vertex 75X II geometric accuracy is carefully monitored in a temperature-controlled factory environment," said the spokesperson. "The machine features a proprietary cast iron bed, which provides an ultra rigid and thermally stable machine structure. A unique box-in-box design provides rigidity, stiffness and agility. As will all Mitsui Seiki machines, guideway mounting surfaces are hand-scraped, achieving very high volumetric accuracies."
