The Skymach VMC1690 CNC Vertical Machining Center is a large-format, heavy-duty machining center built for large mold base manufacturing, automotive press dies, heavy mining machinery components, and energy equipment fabrication. Constructed on an ultra-rigid HT300 cast iron foundation, the VMC1690 pairs high-torque 15/18.5 kW spindle drive with generous table capacities up to 1,500 kg.
Comprehensive Machining Capabilities
- Heavy Roughing & Deep Pocketing: High cutting torque BT50 spindle effortlessly handles high-depth face milling, slotting, and heavy bore machining in tough alloy steels.
- Large Mold & Die Cavities: Smooth 3D contouring across expansive X/Y travels (1600 / 900 / 700 mm) ensuring high geometric precision and fine surface finish.
- Versatile Multi-Process Capability: One-setup completion of rough milling, precision boring, coordinate drilling, reaming, and rigid tapping.
Key Engineering Highlights
- Heavy-Duty High-Torque Spindle: 15/18.5 kW motor delivers massive torque at lower RPMs for heavy steel cutting.
- Massive HT300 Cast Structure: Stress-relieved base and wide column (14,000 kg) minimize resonance and vibration during heavy intermittent cuts.
- High-Payload Ground Table: Generously proportioned 1800 x 900 mm worktable engineered to support up to 1,500 kg.
