VMC Keeps Heavy Cuts Stable

Designed for heavy cutting applications, Toyoda Americas Corporation ’s Stealth VB215 machining center uses the company’s cast iron headstock and vibration damping technology. The bridge machine features a compact Z-axis ram construction to support the center’s 6,000-rpm, geared-head spindle, contributing to stability during milling and drilling operations.

Other machines from the company include a five-axis VMC for titanium machining, universal grinding machines with adjustable wheelheads, a multipurpose turning center with twin turret and twin spindle, and a production gear manufacturing machine. The five-axis VMC has a 2-axis tilting head, high-torque A and B axes with gear-driven design, and hybrid box and linear guideway construction. The grinding machines have adjustable wheelheads for straight and angular applications, 45-degree swivel increments to grind smaller diameter journals, and reinforced bed designs. The multipurpose center is designed for process integration. It has twin upper T15 turrets, built-in twin spindles, a 2" bar capacity and 8" chucks.
