HARDINGE VC 1000

Kellenberger designed new generation VC1000 machines to satisfy the most demanding production and precision component machining requirements in the Aerospace, Automotive, Mold&Die, Power engineering and Oil/gas industries.

Efficiency Improvement: Key Performance Enhancement, Shorten Processing Cycle

  • BBT40 direct-coupled spindle drive, maximum speed increased to 12,000rpm; BBT50 belt-driven spindle, strong heavy cutting capability, speed 6000rpm.
  • X/Y axis rapid traverse speed increased to 48/48m/min, reducing non-cutting time.

Rigidity Enhancement: Stronger Heavy Cutting Capability, Extend Tool Life

  • The bed is made of high-quality gray cast iron. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technology is used in the design to optimize the machine structure and rigidity, achieving excellent performance and stability.
  • X/Y/Z axes are equipped with heavy-duty roller linear guides, providing better rigidity and stronger machining performance.

High Efficiency - Saving machining an non-cutting time

  • Spindle speed: TC200/66 – 4200rpm, TC250 – 3500rpm.
  • The rapid moving speed of X/Z axis can achieve 30m/min.
  • The turret adopts servo-rotating non-lift structure with high precision and fast response.

Precision Improvement: Comprehensive Improvement of Static and Dynamic Precision

  • X/Y/Z axis positioning accuracy: 0.006mm; X/Y/Z axis repeatability: 0.003/0.003/0.004mm (ISO230-2).
  • X/Y circular (Ballbar) measured precision 4μm.
  • NAS 979 circular-diamond comprehensive cutting machining example: parallelism 5μm, perpendicularity 5μm.

STRUCTURAL FEATURES

Machine Base

Highly engineered machine base manufactured from high quality grey cast iron, verified with FEA, heavily ribbed throughout to ensure high overall rigidity and thermal stability.

Heavy-duty Roller-type Linear Guideway

Over-sized 45mm high-quality, high rigid roller-type linear guideways, equip with heavy-duty slide block, provide great positioning accuracy and superior heavy cutting performance-very low friction and high stiffness for long machine life.

Larger Z-axis Travel

Best-in-class Z-axis design, 650mm large travel, distance from spindle nose to work table upto 150mm to 800mm, provide extremely wide working area for mostly application, support 4th-axis rotary table up to 15″, no Z-axis raiser required.

Ball Screw and Bearing

Enhanced bearing housing and motor housing, over-sized 40mm high-class ball screw, fixed and pre-tensioned with precision bearings, improve machine machining accuracy to provide superior rigidity, and repeatability.
