Engineered with X-axis travel in the spindle and a fully supported table in the Y-axis, the new MAG VMC design is capable of producing excellent finishes and contours with outstanding accuracy. This compact heavyweight features a vibration-damping cast-iron platform that is engineered with an electrical cabinet inside the column structure. This feature, which has a patent pending, allows the machine to fit in a shipping container for enhanced protection and reduced delivery cost. With maximum travels of 1,300mm x 750mm x 700mm, the versatile VMC handles parts up to 1,750kg.

MAG Cincinnati's VMC line includes four models combining a Z-axis of 700mm with X-axis of 900mm or 1,300mm, and with Y-axis of 600mm or 750mm. Spindle choices include 22kW, 40-taper beltdriven (10,000rpm); 37kW, 50-taper beltdriven (6,000rpm); or 28kW, HSK63A motorized (20,000rpm). Tool changer capacity for the 40-taper and HSK spindles is 30 pockets, 24 pockets for the 50 taper spindle. Fast dual-arm tool changers maximize in-cut time with tool-to-tool time of just 2.5 second.

Built with Schneeberger linear guides and low-friction Steinmeyer ETA+ ballscrews, the machine is capable of 6m/sec2 (0.6G) acceleration, feedrate of 20mpm (800ipm) and rapid traverse of 45mpm (1,770ipm). A variety of coolant delivery and chip conveying arrangements allows the machine to be configured for materials ranging from titanium to aluminum, or to meet floor space requirements.
