New Arrow Series VMC-500 Delivers Big Performance Through Exclusive Ultimate Performance Technology
The new Cincinnati Machine Arrow Series VMC-500 vertical machining center features the exclusive Ultimiate Performance technology, the most affordable technology for the life-of-the-machine-tool investment. The all-new Cincinnati Machine performance package, including digital vector servos, state-of-the-art Profibus I/O interface technology and maintenance-free guideways, puts Ultimate Performance technology to work for you.
The Arrow Series VMC-500's digital vector spindle drive system eliminates the need for a gearbox, while providing high torque at low rpms. The self-cooled, brushless
motor allows owners to operate at a wide range of power up to 17 Hp Max, 12 Hp continuous (9 kW).
The drive system provides constant torque output regardless of load, maintaining high acc/dec rates throughout the speed range. Full torque is available at zero speed. Maintenance-free linear guideways, with sliding friction as low as 1150th of
conventional guideways, reduce stick-slip for accurate positioning and high-definition milling at high feed rates.
The fast, powerful Acramatic A2100 CNC from Siemens is standard on the Arrow Series VMC-500. Operating on a Windows NT platform, the A2100 provides a user-friendly system with the most comprehensive specification available today. A touchscreen control and handheld pendant place the control functions at the operator's fingertips, reducing setup time.
The standard third-party interface allows the use of proprietary software, such as CAD/CAM systems and SPC programs to run on the control. This open-architecture system, which is based on a true PC platform, offers unrivalled communication capabilities.
