MACHINE DESCRIPTION:
The VARIAXIS i-1050 Vertical Machining Center has advanced multiple-surface, simultaneous 5-axis machining capabilities for accurately processing large complex parts in single setups. It is also well suited for highly productive thin workpiece machining. The machine’s rigid 50-taper milling spindle is available in standard, high-speed and high-torque versions to meet a wide range of application requirements in industries such as aerospace, heavy construction and energy. A trunnion unit supports the rigid tilting/rotary table on both ends, a design that does not interfere with the milling operations. Roller gear cams on the swiveling A-axis and a direct-drive motor powering the rotary C-axis ensure high-speed, high-accuracy machining performance.
