Focaseiki VMC Vertical Machining Centres with APC

Focaseiki VMC-600APC, VMC-860APC and VMC-1100APC vertical machining centres integrate automatic pallet changing for production machining. Prepare work on one pallet while the other is machined, and select the working envelope and configuration for your components.

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.
