The VC-Ez Series begins with Mazak's introduction of the VC-Ez 20, and soon will include both smaller and larger machines, the VC-Ez 16 and VC-Ez 26. All VC-Ez Series machines sport C-frame designs with X and Y axis motion via moving tables and saddles. For rigidity and repeatable part precision, guideway systems use Mazak’s high-rigidity MX linear roller guide systems, and pre-tensioned ball screws ensure precise axis movement.
The small footprint make the compact vertical machine centers an economical option for small shops that require a second machine or an additional spindle. Each machining center is manufactured and tested to assure it meets the highest quality and accuracy standards. In addition, it is recognized for improved accuracy and repeating due to the solid rigid construction.
The milling machines produce more parts, faster and with better tolerances than standard manual machines. In addition, they are simple to set up and operate. Another key feature is the Fagor Automatic controls that offer the most cost-effective solution in chip making profitability. This combination ensures faster programming, set-up and machining.
The OKK VB53a has several features for high rigidity and accuracy. A rigid machine base, wide size linear roller guide and fine pitch high-resolution ball screw increase machining precision. Enhancing positioning accuracy, a 0.05 micron resolution linear scale is offered. Soft Scale Cube technology features thermal sensors that monitor and compensate for any displacement in real time.
In the USA, Romi offers three models, the D 800, the D 1000, and the D 1250. All three are equipped with big-bore 40-taper direct drive spindles with speeds of 10,000 or 15,000 rpm. Direct drive is low maintenance and improves accuracy and repeatability, while the big-bore 40-taper increases stiffness and allows increased depth of cut during machining.
The 8.5-in. x 27-in. vertical machining center provides an economical solution for machining small parts. An automatic toolchanger and eight-tool magazine make the machining center ideally suited for prototyping and short run shops.
The Chiron FZ/DZ 25 vertical machining center series is for highly productive machining of complex, large-volume structural components for the automotive and aerospace industries.
