Fast Drill/Tapping Centers Engineered for High-Precision Applications
April 1, 2020
With rapid traverse speeds up to 2,362 IPM (60 m/min) in all axes and acceleration of 1.2 g, the Tongtai VTX series of drilling and tapping centers are engineered to be fast, affordable solutions for high-precision, high-volume machining applications. The machine's compact 87" x 63" (2,210 mm x 1,600 mm) footprint conserves shop floor space, and a fixed column/moving table type design with Meehanite cast iron frames and roller-type linear slideways provides rigidity and fast, precise movement.
Two types of high-speed ATC systems are available. The 21-tool turret-type ATC on VTX-5 and VTX-7 models offers tool change time of 1.4 seconds tool-to-tool and 1.9 seconds chip-to-chip. VTX-5A and 7A versions have a 20-tool arm-type ATC system that reduces tool change time to 0.8 seconds tool-to-tool and 1.3 seconds chip-to-chip.
The standard 7.5 HP, 12,000 RPM direct-drive spindle provides rigid tap speeds up to 6,000 RPM. An optional 24,000 RPM direct-drive spindle delivers high speeds for machining aluminum and magnesium parts and is engineered for processing graphite. A BBT-30 (Big Plus dual contact) taper is standard for rigid milling. Coolant-through the spindle preparation also is standard, as is a spindle chiller.
A Mitsubishi M80A control is standard and is suitable for applications ranging from production to high-speed machining. It features a 10.4" (264 mm) touchscreen with intuitive smart phone type operation. A dedicated CNC CPU provides enhanced processing speeds. High speed and accuracy results from an all-new high-response servo system with 1,000,000 pulse encoders. A FANUC OiM-F control with 8.4" (203 mm) LCD is also available. Absolute Machine Tools partner Tongtai formerly was the Taiwanese OEM for Japanese machine tool builder Hitachi-Seiki.
