Designed for high-speed, high-accuracy simultaneous 5-axis machining

Machine construction ensures stable machining accuracy in the X-axis direction from the bottom to top of the machine table
The large table capacity allows the machining of large right- and left-hand components in the same machine setup.

Box construction integrating the base, column and table

Fully closed force loop construction and integrated robust table provides exceptional rigidity to ensure stable high-machining accuracy.

Tilting table for large workpieces

For convenient workpiece loading / unloading, the table is horizontal for workpiece setup and tilted 90 degrees for machining.

Thermally symmetrical spindle / column

The thermally symmetrical spindle / column holds the headstock on both the right and left sides to maintain consistent high-machining accuracy (compared to an unstable cantilever construction).

High-accuracy table positioning

The repeatability accuracy of the tilting table is within 13 μm (X / Y / Z directions).

High-speed, high-output spindle for high efficiency machining of aluminium components

30000 min -1 120 kW built-in motor spindle

The built-in motor spindle design helps minimise vibration during high speed operation. This ensures exceptional surface finishes and maximum tool life.

Standard spindle

Output (Cont. rating): 120 kW
Torque (Cont. rating): 42.4 N・m

High torque spindle (Option)

Output (Cont. rating): 120 kW
Torque (Cont. rating): 83 N・m
Optional only for VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160 XP.

Advanced coolant / chip disposal technology

1.5 MPa high-pressure coolant through spindle (standard)

High-pressure coolant through the spindle is supplied though the tool passages directly to the tip of the cutting tool.
Higher-pressure coolant systems (3.5 MPa / 7.0 MPa) are optionally available.

Headstock cleaning coolant (standard)

The standard coolant nozzles on the top cover remove chips from the headstock during machining.

2 table changer and large capacity tool magazine automatic operations

The compact, rotary type-2 table changer makes it possible to set up the next workpiece during machining, supporting extended-hours automated operations.

Environmentally friendly

Clean Coolant System

The internal wall surfaces of the large volume coolant tank have a coating that prevents small machined chips from sticking. The coolant tank has a coolant jet that makes a vortex in the centre so that small machined chips will not settle in the tank. These features allow the coolant to be smoothly sent to the coolant filter, where more than 98% of particles larger than 10 μm (0.00039”) are removed by the dedicated cyclone filter. In addition, the maintenance-free structure significantly reduces the time required to clean filters and tanks.

Coolant tank separated from the conveyor

The tank and conveyor are separated and arranged in an upper and lower position to discharge chips more quickly while reducing the amount of coolant carried out by the conveyor. Tanks can be easily moved and maintained.
