The Focaseiki VMC-600APC | 860APC | 1100APC Vertical Machining Centres with APC are designed for high-volume production, eliminating downtime through their Automatic Pallet Changer (APC). They are engineered for higher stability and continuous, uninterrupted operation, enhancing productivity and efficiency.

Key features:

• Automatic Pallet Changer (APC): This core feature allows for continuous production by enabling the operator to load and unload a new workpiece on one pallet while the machine is actively machining on the other. The pallet change cycle time is 7 ± 1 seconds.

• High Rigidity and Stability: The machines are built with an extra-wide base and eight levelling bolts for high stability and to avoid deformation. The X, Y, and Z axes utilise high-rigidity roller-type linear guideways.

• Enhanced Chip Management: The APC series includes a chip conveyor to enhance productivity, and the base and APC have a slant design to facilitate easy chip flushing and prevent chips from adhering to the structure.

• Hydraulic Pallet Clamping: The Automatic Pallet Changer uses a hydraulic clamping system with a clamp force of 50 kg/cm² for a secure and stable workpiece setup.

• Spindle Cooling Device: These VMCs are equipped with a direct-type spindle motor cooling device to maintain temperature stability and ensure consistent performance during long machining cycles.
