Victor has extended its line of machine tools with the Vcenter AX630 vertical machining centre. Available in the UK from GM CNC, the machine incorporates a B+C-axis rotary table to facilitate the five-axis machining of large parts.

The Vcenter AX630 has rigidity and precision incorporated into every aspect of the machine, something characterised by the trunnion-type B+C-axis table with its built-in, backlash-free roller cam mechanism seated on the base. In terms of speed, the B axis can rotate at up to 17 rpm with 6880 Nm of torque, whereas the C-axis rotation is capable of 33 rpm at 1960 Nm.

Notably, the Vcenter AX630 further optimises structure stiffness with the moving column and spindle, retaining an optimised centre of gravity. Front slideways fully support the spindle when the Y-axis travel is shorter than 300 mm.

The 9000 kg workhorse comes as standard with the FANUC 0i-MF CNC to drive tools around the 700 x 500 x 500 mm work envelope, while the 12,000 rpm spindle features a Big Plus BBT-40 interface. Powering the spindle is a continuous 11/15/18.5 kW motor.

Supplied with up to 30 tools via a twin-arm type fast-change tool barrel, customers can also select the machine with the option of 40, 48 or 60 tool positions. Offered as standard are a spindle oil cooler, fully enclosed splash guard, rigid tapping, remote MPG hand wheel, hand tools and toolbox, built-in work light, automatic power-off system, levelling pads and a screw-type chip-removal system.
