Machine Design

The innovative machine base design features a low center of gravity for excellent rigidity, allowing high-precision machining of workpieces with weights up to 1200 kg
With extensive experience and modern FEM analysis tools for the simulation of countless load conditions, it was possible to guarantee superior stability of the machine frame in real-world applications
One development goal was to achieve a space-saving, compact design
Linear roller guides on all axes provide high load capacities, maximum rigidity and smooth motion ensuring the high dynamics needed to optimally handle high loads
Powerful servo-drives connect directly to large preloaded ball screws providing zero-loss high torque transmission

Main spindle

Main spindle runs on multiple bearings to ensure excellent absorption and dissipation of forces during machining
The advanced design of our spindles ensure low heat accumulation under load
Large pre-loaded bearings ensure radial stability during heavy-duty machining operations
High-temperature lubricants ensure optimum lubrication at any operating temperature and a long tool life
Clamping the tool between contact surfaces at the taper and workpiece flange ensures maximum hold of the tool in the spindle

Tool Changer

The VECTOR is equipped with the best tool changer to allow full utilization of the machining center’s capacity
With only 1.8 seconds tool changing time, the dual-arm gripper also is one of the fastest tool changers on the market

Handling

The totally enclosed workspace features a large door and side doors for easy access, safety and cleanliness
Electrical equipment is divided into separate control cabinets for high and low voltage systems, which results in a significant reduction of heat accumulation and noise
An electronic hand-wheel simplifies machine set-up
The automatic central lubrication system ensures proper lubrication of all lube points
