Vertical machining center has 16- by 14-in. work envelope

Methods Machine Tools Inc. has introduced the Feeler HV-1100V vertical machining center. It features a dedicated trunnion, 4+1 axis configuration, and a 13.8-in. rotary table. The trunnion—Autocam with roller cam technology—offers a 16- by 14-in. work envelope. The tilting A axis has a full +/-120 degrees of motion.

The reinforced cross-ribbed column structure and no counterbalance weight design help improve torsional torque resistance, reduce low-frequency resonance, reduce peck-drilling vibration, and prevent oscillation usually caused by a counterbalance weight.
