The VPC with its vertical spindle is particularly designed for machining large plate-shaped workpieces. The implementation of angular heads also simply enables lateral machining. The clever layout provides for excellent workspace use. The portal drives the spindle above a real gantry drive in the Y-axis. The machine footprint is thus hardly larger than the optimally arranged working area.

Traverse ranges:

X = 2360 mm - 3400 mm
Y = 1200 mm - 2200 mm
Z =   500 mm -   800 mm

Main design

  • Extremely rigid, static and dynamically well balanced ground frame construction
  • Spacious and easily accessible machine tables
  • Direct measuring systems for X/Y/Z axes
  • Cover according to current machinery directives
  • Ideal for crane loading by the open covering over the work area
  • Machine transport in one single piece
  • Optimal accessibility for all maintenance and service requirements

In addition, the VPC can be flexibly extended. Contact us!

 

Guideways and drives

  • Combination of sliding and roller guideways for high dynamics, stiffness and absorption
  • Guiding built upon manually scraped or grinded surface
  • Optimal guiding by extremely large guidance ratio
  • Real gantry drive in the Y-axis with corresponding individual drive, guideway and direct measuring system for both portal sides
  • Drives and guideways are protected
  • Ball screws in all linear axes

Tool changing system

  • Simple and very robust stationary placed tool changer
  • Magazine protected in rear part of machine
  • Stationary tool changer layout allows for long tool chains without any negative effect on machine dynamics and precision
  • Fixed location coded tool management for better operator monitoring
  • Simultaneous tool pre-selection by double gripping system
  • Support of various tool holding systems such as SK, BT, HSK, CAPTO
  • Magazine placement possible during machining
