Model VMC-RTB-T

Monarch Machine Tool announces a new version of it's VMC-RTB product. The
VMC-RTB-T features a fully integrated contouring tilt axis and spindle assembly allowing
the machine spindle to operate in any position from vertical to horizontal. This
axis can be programmed as a full contouring axis or positioned and hydraulically clamped
for heavy machining cuts.
This eliminates the need for large rotary tilt tables with large part overhang.
The X-axis option is also available on the VMC-RTB-T series machine for a full 5 axis
machine platform.
The RTB series machines were originally designed for machining large
circular parts in
a vertical plane. The addition of the tilt axis now allows for secondary operations
on the outside diameter of the part as well as the top surface. Multiple spindle
speed options are available based on customer's requirement. |
