Made in Kentucky, the VCN-575C vertical machining center brings advanced technology, performance and value to heavy-torque machining applications. The machine features a traditional C-frame design, vibration-dampening, rigid base and headstock/column castings for extreme stability. A high-torque 50-taper spindle with maximum torque ratings give the machine the strength and power for aggressive metal removal in tough-to-machine materials. Also contributing to the machine’s productivity is an extremely fast traverse rate of 1,654 ipm in the X, Y and Z axes.

The high-speed automatic tool change system (ATC) on the VCN-575C machine is servo-driven for fast and reliable operation. Tool changes occur in 5.2 seconds to significantly reduce non-cut times and get spindles back in the cut in the shortest times possible. Such speed is possible because the ATC always takes the quickest route to the next needed tool position.
