High-speed VMC
May 1st 2007

BK Tooling has invested in a 12,000 rev/min, 43 m/min rapid traverse 1060 HS vertical machining centre from XYZ Machine Tools.

The VMC boasts a 20hp spindle equipped with ceramic bearings and oil cooling with rigidity imparted by a solid Meehanite ribbed cast iron construction and a 1020mm (X) by 610mm (Y) by 620mm (Z) machining envelope.

"It's not just about spindle speed. It's about overall rigidity of the machine, the quality of its build, and the way in which it accelerates and decelerates," says Bob Tunks of BK Tooling.
