VC630-5AX Vertical Machining Centre

Doosan set to take first steps into 5-axis machining

Doosan Infracore have announced a new high performance, simultaneous 5-axis vertical machining centre .

The inherently versatile 5-axis machine has been designed for a diverse range of applications. From the heavy duty machining of difficult and hard to machine materials such as titanium and inconel through to high speed cutting of aliminium, the VC630-5AX can be relied upon for high accuracy machining, heavy metal removal and fine finishing operations.

The machine is set to be a big hit with manufacturers machining complex parts for the aerospace, defence, motorsport, medical and mould tool and die sectors.

The machine can be supplied with a choice of control - Fanuc 31i-A5 or Heidenhain iTNC 530 - and is equipped with a powerful, high torque built in motor driven 12,000 rpm spindle (22kW Fanuc, 32kW Heidenhain) and featues the dual contact "Big Plus" face and taper configuration for increased rigidity and reliability, providing users with improved part accuracy, good surface finishes and enhanced contouring capability.

Axis travels on the machine are 650mm x 765mm x 520mm (XYZ) with corresponding traverse rates of 40m/minute, 40m/minute and 36m/minute.

The VC630-5AX is equipped with a 60 station bi-directional double arm ATC (BT40) and the machines tool change time is one second. Machine tool options include a 20,000 rpm spindle and coolant through spindle (20 or 70 bar).

The VC630-5AX will be available to customers from March 2010.
