Traveling Column 5-Axis CNC Machining

Innovative, Ultra-precise, Powerful, Compact

Key Facts

The VMX650FX 5 axis traveling column machine center features a table size of Ø650 mm, and a work envelope size applicable for complicated simultaneous contouring required for high accuracy machining applications. Superior +/- 3 microns machine accuracy increases profits and reduces scrap. This machine is designed to support the aerospace, medical, molding, automotive and other advanced industries.

The VMX650FX series is engineered using a Traveling Column to provide rigidity, accuracy, power, and durability, in production of 5 axis machined parts. The VMX650FX series also offers the options of adding a “Pallet Pool”, and Pneumatic or Hydraulic programable doors. Also available is “Through table Hydraulic or Pneumatic” clamping. For ease of automation and “Lights Out” operation all features are M-Code programable. The machine is controlled by a FANUC 31i-B5 control. Features include simultaneous X,Y, Z, A, and C motion, to produce the most sophisticated 5 axis parts. High Precision 35/45/45mm roller linear guides are matched with robust Ø45mm pre-tensioned C2 class ball screws delivering reliable accuracy on X/Y/Z Axes. A Heidenhain rotary encoder is included with the A axis tilting rotary for your most demanding applications. The Dual Contact CAT.40 spindle features tool holding with two face clamping enabling rigid machining while reducing tool wear. An optional HSK A63 spindle is also offered.

The NEW VMX650FX has a 21.5” touch screen monitor, our backlit Jupiter control panel, and features our QWERTY keyboard. Operators can easily monitor and control operations, increasing part quality, reducing training time, and increasing SAFETY by simplifying machine operation.
