Victor 55 Vertical Machining Center

About Victor 55 Vertical Machining Centers

A Victor 55 vertical machining center (VMC) is a CNC machine tool with versatility and flexibility in regards to removing unwanted materials from a manufactured machined part. A Victor 55 refers to a machining center of which the spindle axis and the worktable sits vertically approaching the workpiece mounted on the work table from above. It can perform milling, boring, drilling, tapping, thread cutting, and more operations. These machine tools consist of one spindle that can be equipped with different types of cutting tools located in the machine’s tool changer that could be in an umbrella or side mount style. The machines operate in a square workspace consisting of a X-Axis, Y-Axis and Z-Axis; A 4th axis can be added with a rotary table and a 5th axis can be added by the use of a tilting trunnion table ( A-axis, C-Axis). The spindles can range in speed (RPM) depending on the size of cut and material being milled, higher rate spindles are called high speed machining. A Victor Vertical Machining center has a simple structure, small footprint, equipped with multiple options, less costly, versatile, and economically efficient. Because of these machines versatility they can come equipped with a wide range of options: 4 or 5 axes, high pressure coolant, coolant thru spindle, chip conveyor, pallet changer, tool changer, tool break detection, ethernet, linear guideways, tool probe, glass scales, chillers, rigid tapping and threading. With the help of a CNC Control the Victor machine tool is operated using computer design to execute pre-programmed sequences of controlled commands. Victor Vertical machining centers are made to be customisable offering many different models each designed to perform a specific job requirement. This Victor 55 is just one of the models produced by Victor machine tools for the CNC manufacturing industry.
