Vertical machining center delivers complex contouring of hard metal components

The FSP-80V vertical machining center from SNK America Inc. provides complex, simultaneous 5-axis contouring of difficult-to-cut materials.

The super-rigid, box-frame spindle head houses a dual-face spindle driven by a 30-HP motor that generates 1,407 Nm of torque. The A and B rotary axes employ a highly rigid, double-pinion drive system for stable, continuous, 5-axis machining under demanding loads.

Table size is 31.5 by 78.7 in. with a maximum table load capacity of 8,800 lbs. Turcite slideways help reduce cutting vibration for improved accuracy. Travels (X, Y, Z) are 90.5 by 33.4 by 27.5 in. Spindle swivels (A, B) are +/- 30 degrees.
