VMC1160 Vertical Machining Center – FAQ (Knowledge Q&A)
Q1: What is the maximum workpiece size that the VMC1160 can handle?
A: The VMC1160 has a table size of 1200 × 600 mm and a maximum load capacity of 800 kg, making it suitable for medium-to-large workpieces such as automotive engine blocks, mold bases, and structural components.
Q2: What industries commonly use the VMC1160?
A: The VMC1160 is widely applied in automotive, aerospace, mold & die, medical devices, energy, and general machinery manufacturing. It is especially suitable for precision machining of complex parts requiring high accuracy and efficiency.
Q3: How does the VMC1160 improve machining efficiency?
A: Equipped with a 24-tool arm-type ATC (Automatic Tool Changer) and a high-speed 8000 rpm BT40 spindle, the VMC1160 supports rapid tool changes (just 3 seconds) and high-speed cutting, significantly reducing cycle time and increasing throughput.
Q4: What level of accuracy can the VMC1160 achieve?
A: The machine provides a positional accuracy of ±0.008 mm and a repeatability of ±0.006 mm, ensuring precise and consistent results even in high-volume production.
Q5: Why choose the VMC1160 over smaller machining centers?
A: Compared to smaller VMC models, the VMC1160 offers longer X/Y/Z travel (1100 × 600 × 600 mm), greater rigidity, and higher load capacity, allowing it to handle larger and heavier workpieces while maintaining superior precision.
