VMC1160 VMC Machine Center

VMC1160 Vertical Machining Center – High-Performance CNC Milling for Heavy-Duty Precision Machining

The VMC1160 Vertical Machining Center is a robust, high-precision 3-axis linear rail CNC machining center, engineered for demanding applications in mold making, automotive, aerospace, and heavy industrial manufacturing. Designed for both single-piece and high-volume batch production, it delivers exceptional rigidity, speed, and long-term accuracy for complex parts including plates, shells, cams, and molds.

Key Advantages for Your Production Workflow

✅ Ultra-Rigid, Vibration-Damped Construction

The machine’s main components (bed, column, worktable, spindle head) are cast from high-quality resin sand castings, with dual aging treatments to eliminate internal stress. Optimized via SolidWorks and Ansys for structural stiffness, the frame effectively suppresses cutting-induced vibration and deformation, ensuring stable performance even under heavy loads.

✅ Large Work Envelope & High Load Capacity

• Travel Range: 1100mm (X) × 600mm (Y) × 600mm (Z), with a 1200×600mm worktable supporting loads up to 1000kg.
• 45mm linear guide rails and HIWIN C3-grade double-nut preloaded ball screws (4012 model) deliver precise motion, paired with pre-stretched screw supports and P4-grade 60° contact angle bearings to minimize thermal deformation.
• ✅ High-Torque, High-Speed Spindle System
• Equipped with a Taiwanese brand BT40 spindle (8000rpm standard, optional 10000rpm), powered by an 11kW (15kW 30min) motor delivering up to 95N.m of torque. The 8YU timing belt drive ensures smooth power transfer, while P4-grade spindle bearings and KLUBR NBU15 grease lubrication ensure long service life. The spindle supports rigid tapping, orientation, and stepless speed control for versatile machining tasks (drilling, milling, boring, tapping, reaming).
• ✅ Fast, Reliable 24-Tool Automatic Tool Changer
• The disc-type tool magazine holds up to 24 BT40 tools, with a tool change time of just 1.55 seconds. With tool pre-selection and nearby tool selection capabilities, the system maximizes uptime. The magazine supports tools up to 300mm long, 8kg in weight, and up to φ160mm in diameter (φ80mm with adjacent tools loaded), with damping structures to reduce impact and extend service life.
• ✅ High-Speed Motion & Precision Control
• Rapid traverse speeds: 30/30/24 m/min (X/Y/Z) for fast positioning.
• Cutting feed rate: 1–10,000 mm/min for flexible machining.
• Positioning accuracy: ±0.006mm, repeat positioning accuracy: ±0.005mm, ensuring tight tolerances for critical parts.

• ✅ Low-Maintenance, Operator-Friendly Design
• Choose your preferred CNC system (FANUC, Siemens, or KND) for seamless workflow integration.
• Large-flow cooling system with water/air cooling options, plus a built-in cleaning air gun for easy maintenance.
• Centralized automatic thin-oil lubrication system keeps guide rails and ball screws properly lubricated, reducing wear and extending component life.
• Drawer-type chip removal system simplifies scrap disposal, while full machine guards prevent coolant splashes and ensure operator safety.
• Built for durability, efficiency, and precision, the VMC1160 is your trusted partner for heavy-duty, high-volume CNC machining. Reduce production cycles, boost output, and maximize ROI with this high-performance vertical machining center.
