VMC866 · General-purpose VMC
850 / 600 / 600 mm travel on a 1000 × 550 mm table, 600 kg table load, 32 m/min rapids.
Why this size
The 866 covers a 1000 × 550 mm table with 850 mm of X travel, 600 mm in Y and 600 mm in Z, and carries 600 kg. That is a fixture plate plus a mid-size housing before the frame has to grow.
X and Y rapid at 32 m/min and Z at 24 m/min. On a mixed batch that shortens the positioning time between features, which is where a smaller frame loses its day.
A BT40 spindle with a 150 mm nose runs to 8,000 rpm. The machine stands on a 2600 × 2380 mm footprint and weighs 5,300 kg, so it needs a level floor rather than a special foundation.
