In June 2019 Lead Machine Tools installed a Sino VMC1000L Vertical Machining Center.

SINO VMC1000L SPECIFICATIONS

Rigid And Precise Performance

High Rigid & Large Horizontal Machining Center 

• High rigid LM guide in all axes
• Stroke (X/Y/Z): 2,600/1,600/1,500 mm
• Max. work size: Ø2,500 x 1,800 mm
• Max loading weight : 15,000 kg (2-APC: 7,000kg)

Powerful Spindle

• High Speed: BT-50/3,000 rpm (Std), 8,000/12,000 rpm (Optional)
• High Power Motor: 26/22 kW
• Spindle lub. and cooling system: Oil-Jet lubrication

Various Functions

High-performance Spindle
The spindle integrated motor limits vibration, noise and power loss at high speed operations. The oil-jet system injects directly into the spindle bearing for effective lubrication and cooling, the motor and the spindle assembly are jacket-cooled to limit the displacement caused by heat. To achieve greater precision, the spindle constantly monitors for thermal displacement and makes necessary adjustment in real time.

Product Description

Machining Solution With Hwacheon Software

High-Precision And High-Rigidity Index Table: Application of dedicated index table optimized for slide/incline core machining

Intuitive Operating Environment

- Automatic attachment of table and clamping jig

- Intuitive angle input for B/C axes

- Automatic creation of 3+2-axis post based on input angles

- Automatic linkage of machining command function for inclined surfaces

Product Description

Stable, Symmetrical Portal-Type Structure

The double columns provide stable support for the Y-axis feed system, and the symmetrical structure that distributes the load, vibration, and heat of the upper area throughout the entire frame enables stable feed even during prolonged operation. Also, minimizing the distance between the Y-axis feed system and the tool's machining point maintains rigidity and increases machining precision.

Direct Drive Type Rotation Axis

Product Description

High productivity 5 Axis machining center

Compact 5-axis machining center for part or most complex contour applications. Cycle times are kept at its lowest due to high acceleration/deceleration times as well as short tool change times. The design considers easy access for AWC or robot handling.

High-performance spindle
