JTEKT MACHINERY is offering a new vertical machine center, the WELE UG630 VMC, featuring an advanced overhead gantry design and an integrated, high-precision trunnion rotary table, enabling more operations in a single set-up. For a variety of machining needs, including high-speed, heavy-duty, and five-axis machining, JTEKT’s complete line of vertical machining centers delivers reliable performance.
Due to a vibration-dampening Meehanite cast iron base and large precision spindle bearings, users benefit from increased rigidity while sustaining higher load capacities.
The UG630 includes a Heidenhain TNC 640 CNC plus touch screen display to optimize machining capabilities.
The UG630 VMC is designed for X-axis travel of 640 mm / 25.1 in.; Y-axis travel (spindle head) of 520 mm / 20.4 in.; and Z-axis travel of 460 mm / 18.1 in. the rotating range of the C-axis is a full 360°. The swiveling range of the B-axis is -50 deg / +110 deg, maximizing tool access to surfaces of the workpiece.
The rapid feed rate (X,Y,Z) is 40 (m/min) / 914 (in/min).
The workpiece clamping area is 650 mm / 25.5 in.
A 60-pocket, chain-type automatic tool changer provides all the CAT 40 Big Plus tools needed to complete workpieces in a single clamping. The UG 630 also includes a Blum probe and tool setter package.
Machining speed and power are delivered through a built-in, type 38-hp spindle with a speed of 15000 rpm.
Known for designing and building rigid and dependable machining solutions, WELE machinery is manufactured under strict quality control. As a production standard, all metal-to-metal contact points are hand-scraped, which ensures the highest levels of long-term accuracy and true geometry.
According to a JTEKT spokesman. ”For most manufacturers, determining a machine’s projected performance and expected profits holds the key to predicting overall return on investment.
“True ROI, however, lies deeper than just the sum of a machine’s annual yield. Viably calculating a machine’s ROI requires taking into consideration a number of variables, including a machine’s maintenance costs, operating expenses, energy costs, performance, and automation opportunities. By only relying on the initial cost and projected profitability, manufacturers fail to recognize key points that can give their facility the highest operational value.”
