VMC1160 Key Features
✅ Large Work Envelope – Handles bigger parts (e.g., aircraft components, automotive molds).
✅ High Rigidity – Box-way or linear guide options for heavy cuts in steel/titanium.
✅ Advanced CNC Controls – Supports 5-axis machining (optional).
✅ High-Speed Options – 20,000 RPM spindles for aluminum/composites.
✅ Automation-Ready – Pallet changers, probe systems, and chip conveyors (optional).
Common Configurations
Standard 3-Axis – For general milling/drilling.
4th/5th-Axis – Rotary tables for complex geometries.
High-Speed – For aluminum/light alloys (e.g., 24,000 RPM spindle).
Heavy-Duty – BT50 taper + 30+ HP for tough materials.
Typical Applications
Aerospace: Wing ribs, engine mounts
Automotive: Large molds, transmission cases
Energy: Turbine components
