5-Axis Machining Centers

VC-Ez X

Designed and built in Kentucky, VC-Ez X Series machines are optimized for simple operation as well as fast and easy installation, offer enhanced ergonomics, stable and reliable part processing, and long-term reliability.

  • Hybrid MX Roller Guideway Systems on all linear axes
  • Pre-tensioned ballscrew system with support at both ends
  • Thermal Shield technology ensures continuously stables machine
  • Roller gear trunnion and rotary table for fast, accurate, 5-axis machining

Spindle

  • Precision-balanced spindle cartridges
  • Thermally controlled spindle minimizes growth and contraction for stable machining
  • Large headstock castings eliminate torsional displacement when heavy side-load milling

Structure

  • Base, column, saddle, and headstock castings are all designed with high-speed and high-torque cutting applications in mind
  • Castings and ambient thermal conditions are monitored to make axis adjustments for part-to-part consistency

MX Hybrid Roller Guide System

  • More surface contact for greater load capacities
  • Higher positioning accuracy than boxways
  • Faster and greener than boxways with nearly twice the rapid traverse rate and less contamination in machine coolant system

Thermal Displacement Control

In addition to environmental changes such as increases or decreases in room temperature, operations such as spindle start/stop create sudden expansions and contractions in the spindle. Being able to monitor and react to thermal disruption provides stable machining accuracy that can be maintained over long periods of time.

High-Speed ATC

Our high-speed ATC system utilizes a reliable servo-driven cam actuation system that aids in rapid tool change and reduces noncut cycle time. Spindle utilization is also increased through bidirectional rotation of the magazine to the next required tool position, adding productivity to your facility.

Tool Changers

High-capacity CAT 40 tool magazines, common throughout the Ez Series, minimize setups for a variety of workpieces while ensuring adequate tooling for uninterrupted operation.

Standard: 30 tool
Optional: 50 tool
