SMTCL-Americas will display its new vertical machining center, the VMC850E at the IMTS exhibition at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL from September 8 – 13, 2014. SMTCL will be in Booth S-8148 in the Metal Cutting Pavilion in the South Hall.
The VMC850E is designed for North American job shops that compete in the world market. The VMC850E is a small, reliable, and rugged machining center that has been designed to be effective in machining a variety of materials including composites, ceramics, aluminum, steel, and titanium.
“We have developed the VMC850E configuration based on years of working with job shops,” says Jerry McCarty, Chief Operating Officer. “Owners and operators love the features we have made standard on this low cost vertical machining center. The compact layout, large side doors, and extended axis travels make a big difference for a small shop.”
The VMC850E has travels of 33” in X, 19” in Y, and 21” in Z. The machine comes standard with an 8,000 RPM 40 taper spindle, 24-position automatic tool changer, coolant through the spindle, 4th axis preparation, air-conditioned electrical cabinet, and a chip conveyor. The machine is controlled by the powerful and reliable FANUC 0i-MD control with a 10” screen and USB, PCMIA, and Ethernet interfaces.
