Vertical Machining Center VMC966 Heavy-Duty CNC Milling Machine with HT300 Cast Iron Structure
The SDVEDON VMC966 is a high-performance vertical machining center with vertical frame layout, whose column is fixed on the machine bed. The spindle head moves vertically along the column (Z-axis), the saddle moves back and forth on the bed (Y-axis), and the worktable moves transversely on the saddle (X-axis).
All key castings including machine bed, worktable, saddle, column and spindle head are made of high-strength HT300 cast iron. Optimized by 3D computer aided design with reasonable rib layout, all castings undergo complete heat treatment to eliminate residual internal stress, which guarantees sufficient structural strength, excellent rigidity and long-term stability of the whole machine.
Equipped with high-quality PMI roller linear guideways on X/Y/Z axes, the machine features low friction, small abrasion, high positioning precision and stable high-speed movement. Z-axis adopts heavy-load 6-slider structure to enhance cutting rigidity. Three-axis servo motors directly connect with high-precision ball screws via elastic coupling to realize zero-backlash transmission. Z-axis servo is equipped with automatic brake function for power-off safety protection.
Adopted Okada BT40 direct-drive spindle with 12000rpm maximum speed, the spindle uses P4 grade special bearings. Fully assembled under constant temperature with dynamic balance calibration and running-in test, it achieves stepless speed regulation, spindle orientation and rigid tapping functions. Matching with 24-tool disc ATC with fast 1.75s tool change, the machine is perfect for batch milling, boring, drilling, tapping and multi-process precision machining. It has passed CE and ISO 9001 certification, with comprehensive after-sales service for global industrial customers.
The machine bed, worktable, saddle, column and spindle box are all made of high-strength HT300 cast iron. With optimized rib structure by 3D simulation and complete aging heat treatment, residual stress is fully eliminated. The whole machine owns excellent shock absorption, structural rigidity and long-term precision stability under continuous heavy cutting.
X/Y/Z axes adopt Taiwan PMI 35/45/45mm wide roller linear guideways, which own low dynamic & static friction, small wear, high sensitivity and long service life. Z-axis spindle box adopts 6 heavy-load slider structure to strengthen overall rigidity. Three-axis servo motors directly connect with high-precision ball screws through elastic couplings, realizing zero-backlash transmission with flexible feed and accurate positioning. Z-axis servo motor is built with automatic brake function, which automatically locks the motor shaft when power off for safe operation.
The machine is equipped with Okada BT40-150-12000rpm direct-drive spindle. It adopts P4 grade special spindle bearings, and the whole spindle is assembled under constant temperature environment with dynamic balance calibration and running-in test, which greatly improves service life and operation reliability. Controlled by spindle motor encoder, it realizes stepless speed regulation in full speed range, supporting spindle orientation and rigid tapping functions.
Standard 24-disc tool magazine with stable automatic tool change, only 1.75s tool-to-tool change time. Equipped with centralized automatic lubrication system, complete cooling system and pneumatic safety system, the machine ensures stable long-time continuous operation.
The machine has passed CE and ISO 9001 international quality system certification, complying with global industrial safety and quality standards. All core accessories are from world-renowned brands. Each machine completes strict precision inspection before delivery. SDVEDON provides 1-year full machine warranty and lifelong technical support including on-site installation, debugging and operation training.
