Vertical Mill/Turn Center for Large Applications
June 1, 2022
Absolute Machine Tools has added the You Ji VMT Vertical Mill/Turn Center Series to its line of large Vertical Turning Lathes by You Ji (Kaohsiung City, Taiwan).
Combining vertical and horizontal 5-face milling with vertical turning capabilities, the You Ji VMT provides five-sided or 4+1-axis milling and turning of medium-sized workpieces in a single set-up. Standard turning diameter and maximum turning height is 39.4" (1,000 mm).
The 30 HP double-wound FANUC P Series main spindle motor delivers more torque at a lower RPM than a 50 HP single-wound motor. It is powered by a 2-speed ZF planetary gearbox spindle drive. The 20 HP 50 taper milling spindle produces high torque.
The vertical column and base are made from heavily ribbed Meehanite castings that minimize thermal distortion and dampen vibration. Smooth operation is provided by enclosed X-, Y- and Z-axis box guideways featuring hand-scraped mating surfaces, Turcite-B coatings and forced lubrication. "The VMT's simple design eliminates belts and gears in all three axes instead relying on servo motors to drive large 2 in. dia. Class-3 precision ballscrews during operation," said a company spokesperson. A fixed turning spindle and 3-axis moving column provide optimal chip removal and simplified operation.
"The You Ji VMT-1000+Y features a large 29.5" (750 mm) Y-axis travel," said Nicole Conrad, Chief Marketing Officer. "A standard 24 tool arm-type ATC with 55 lb. tool weight capacity makes this machine a perfect offering for our aerospace and energy industry customers."
