AGMA VMC-2210P Vertical Machining Center

All three axes have a hardened boxway design, and the spindle headstock, column, saddle, base and table are all made of high quality Meehanite cast iron.

The spindle headstock has increased rigidity due to the wide stance design and the long surface contact between the headstock and Z-axis way bars.

The base of VMC-2210 has 6-hardened ways that allow greater stability. Therefore, the saddle and table are fully supported along the entire X and Y-axes travels.

The exclusive honeycomb shape structure design is utilized on the Column of VMC-2210. This design reinforces the headstock support and also enhances the stiffness of the structure. A high stiffness to weight ratio allows excellent dynamic performance during cutting.

An enhanced headstock design allows the spindles to run up to 10,000 RPM. All spindles and pulley assemblies are dynamically balanced and a non-slip timing belt ensures the spindle will run smoothly, even at maximum speed. The spindle nose is built to receive the very popular BT-40 tooling. A spindle chiller system maintains a comfortable bearing temperature, and an air blast is automatically activated as the spindle is unclamped to receice a tool.

To ensure consistent high quality, each slide way is hand-scraped. All axis saddles are lined with the hand scraped Turcite material and a Z shaped pattern is cut where each slideway resides to efficiently distribute the lubrication oil. An excellent distribution of oil is achieved to all axes, so that settling time after rapid movements is eliminated, and stick-slip during cutting is minimized. The lubrication oil is automatically distributed around the machine to both slideways and ballscrews, the rate of which is controlled by CNC settings.

All three axes use ISO Class C3 precision ground preloaded ballscrews with pretensioned supports on both ends to minimize backlash and compensate for any thermally induced error.

All of our machines are calibrated according to the "VDI 3441 3∂" standard. Calibration is performed for full travel of each axis. Each measurement is taken six times to ensure the most consistent and accurate readings. All lasor and ball bar data is certified by PMC.

The double gripper swing arm tool changer driven by electric motor through a cam type mechanism which is bathed in lubrication oil. Literally millions of tool changes can be performed accurately and efficiently almost maintenance free during years of service. The tool magazine has 32 BT-40 type tool pockets and will determine the quickest direction of rotate to the selected tool.

The part program storage length is 160 metres

All electrical components are in compliance with all safety rules and regulations. All components inside the cabinets are clearly labeled and identified for ease of troubleshooting. All servo drive components are exclusively of Fanuc origin and the latest technology. The electrical cabinet is fitted with a heat exchanger to regulate the inside temperature.

The working environment of the machine is fully enclosed, at the top as well as the sides to contain metal chips and coolant, even when high pressure coolant is employed. Two very large sliding doors enable the operator to easily access this work space to service tools or change a workpiece. All splash guard doors are fully interlocked to protect the operator. The work lights are located on the underside of the roof at the right and left hand sides of the splash guard, providing a well-lit working environment. The work lights are protected by toughened glass tubes.

An auger screw is fiitted behind the table to prevent any build-up of swarf.

Two other auger screws efficiently remove metal chips from the bed of the machine. This provides optimal chip disposal together with the hinged belt lift-up conveyor.

The hinged belt lift-up conveyor loads the swarf being expelled by the auger swrews into the a chip collection bin.

A three colour indicator light is used to display the current machine status.

One set of levelling bolts and pads are supplied with each machine together with a basic set of tools in a tool box.

If the auto power off function is activated the machine will automatically shut down to conserve electricity when the work is complete.

During rigid tapping the axis travel will decelerate as the spindle comes to a stop at the bottom of the hole, and accellerate as the spindle starts to rotate again, thus enabling rigid tooling to be utilized instead of expensive floating type tapping heads.
