VPC 2800 U - Gantry machining centre

A portal support on columns travels in the X-direction in gantry mode

Excellent machine accessibility with crane loading possibility by the optional complete covering with automatic doors and automatically opening bellows in the roof section

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.

Traverse ranges:

X = 3900 mm - 5000 mm
Y = 2940 mm
Z = 1100 mm - 1300 mm
