The VPC 2800 U unites the advantages of the compact built VPC range with the working area proportions of the spacious portal machining centres PFZ/UPFZ from AXA. Its travel of up to 5000 x 2940 x 1300 mm makes this multitalent stand out above the competition for large gantry machines. The compact construction integrates all the essential components in very confined space.

5-sides and 5-axes machining of large cubic workpieces is a simple task for the VPC 2800 U: The combination of a stepless interpolating 1-axis tilting head with a rotary table integrated into the frame makes this task simplicity itself.

  • Main design

    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
