Vertical Machining Centre
NEWAY VM SERIES
High Precision Vertical Machining Centre
Neway’s diverse New model line-up is designed and engineered to meet the World Class processing needs of several unique and different industries. The uniqueness of many of their zero-defect manufacturing process has won the trust and praise of many repeat customers worldwide.
- Finite Element Analysis designed castings provide high rigidity, a solid base, and an extremely rigid column to ensure the stability of machine while processing parts;
- Large span ways and widened and hardened thick rail surfaces guarantee the excellent machine accuracy over the long haul;
- The three-axis screw adopts a pre-tensioned process to ensure good positioning and repeat positioning accuracy without droop while eliminating backlash
- The whole series of this machine provides a convenient one-button reset function for more convenient problem solving like tool magazine recovery. Some series adopt the rapid tool change system, which greatly reduces the tool change time;
- Some series have four guideways on the Y-axis, which have larger loading capacity. It can be equipped with a gearbox to improve the cutting torque at lower rpm for high feed low speed machining;
- Vibration test and dynamic balance control tests minimize harmonics while ensuring assembly accuracy and motion performance. This improves the quality of smooth product processing and extends the working life of the machine.
VM Series – High-Production Vertical Machining Center
- This series of models are designed with high rigidity, which can be satisfied for most applications;
- The solid base and column adopt Neway’s unique rib arrangement, which effectively guarantees the rigidity of the machine;
- Diversified development of the system and abundant selection of optional items to facilitate customer use and meet processing needs easily;
- Some models adopt four-guideway design, large-span, and high-rigidity structure design, and can perform high-torque cutting, effectively reducing the saddle deformation caused by the overhang of the table and ensuring the load capacity during processing.
Four-guideway design
Part of machines is four-guideway design (model 13 or above), which can effectively reduce the saddle deformation caused by the overhang of the table, and ensure the heavy load capacity during processing. The machines anti-deflection rigidity of the saddle is high, the carrying capacity is strong, and the excellent design of the guideway span can ensure the rigidity of the casting for a long time.
Casting structure design
A strong support structure, designed with structural mechanics, through finite element analysis ensures the proper arrangement of reinforcing ribs providing a more rigid machine. Moreover, this analysis reduces casting weight, deformation and stress concentration.
Reinforced slider connecting structure
It adopts reinforced slider connecting structure, and some models adopt the 6-slide structure, which effectively improves the rigidity of the headstock.
Automatic oil pump
Automatic oil pump provides lubrication to the guide ways and ball screws which precisely controls the volume of oil to these critical components. A low-level alarm reminds operator before machine stop. The grease type lubrication is an optional, which is thought by some to be more environmentally friendly.
