  • The large VECTOR Series is perfectly equipped for large jobs and can be ordered with customized accessories to provide flexible solutions for constantly expanding requirements

Machine Design

  • The extra-wide column base and large guide distances ensure the necessary rigidity for fast machining processes requiring high precision
  • During the development of this series, modern FEM analysis tools were used for the simulation of countless load conditions in order to guarantee superior stability of the machine frame in real-world applications, which now exceeds all expectations for this class of machines
  • All axes move on premium, fully enclosed linear roller guideways and precision ball screws and are driven by dynamic servo-motors

Extra-rigidity at all the right places

  • The VECTOR features larger guideways that are equipped with additional guide carriages for even higher load capacities, more rigidity and higher speeds during heavy-duty machining operations
  • Preloaded ball screws with larger and additional bearings ensure superior efficiency and longer life

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
