Arrow Series 2 VMC-1000 Defines
Ultimate Performance ™ Technology
The new Arrow Series 2 VMC-1000, offering increased power and spindle acceleration, enhanced rapid traverse and acc/dec performance, and fast axis drive, can be seen in full operation at Cincinnati’s IMTS 2002 Booth #8101. The VMC-1000’s all-new Ultimate Performance™ package, which includes the state-of-the-art Profibus I/O interface technology as standard equipment, reduces wire terminations, improves safety and simplifies maintenance. Tested and proven, the components are installed on more than 3 million machines worldwide.
The digital vector spindle drive provides 30 Hp Max (22kW), 25 Hp MTDR. Improved spindle acceleration allows the 40 series spindle to reach 8,000 rpm in just 1.8 seconds. The drive system provides constant torque regardless of load.
Process matching feedrates of 590 ipm (15,000 mm/min) are combined with rapid traverse rates up to 1,416 ipm (36 m/min). The acc/dec rates are increased up to 70 percent.
Enhanced operator convenience features include high intensity lighting and end panel windows for increased visibility within the machining area. In addition, an integral workstation tray is incorporated into the control station.
The Arrow Series 2 VMC-1000 will be on display at IMTS with the optional GE Fanuc 21 iB CNC. This new easy-to-learn and easy-to-use CNC control is ideal for shops that must start cutting faster from the outset and ensures that operators spend more time cutting than learning complex control systems.
The entire new Arrow Series 2 line — comprised of the VMC-500, VMC-750, VMC-1000 and VMC-1250C — are some of the most reliable, accurate and user-friendly vertical machining centers in today’s marketplace.
