Victor CNC (UK) Ltd, Rochdale (www.victorcnc.com) has introduced its P76 series of three-axis vertical machining centres.

This incorporates a 30-tool ATC that can change tools in 1.6sec for a chip-to-chip time of 4sec, complemented by rapid-traverse rates of 48m/min in the X and Y axes, and 32m/min in Z.

Victor’s P76 offers a work envelope of 760 x 500 x 510mm and features a meehanite structure with a wide base that helps to dampen vibration and add stability.

The 18.5kW BBT-40 spindle features a face-and-taper tool interface and offers a maximum speed of 12,000rev/min, while an 840 x 500mm table accepts components weighing up to 500kg.

Standard features of the P76 include a fully enclosed splash guard, a Fanuc 0i-MF CNC with 10.4in monitor and a spindle-oil cooler. Additionally, the P76 offers rigid tapping, a three-step warning light, levelling pads,
automatic power-off and a screw-type swarf conveyor.

Optional extras include a 40-tool ATC, coolant gun, automatic tool-length measuring and part measuring, and a fourth/fifth-axis interface.

For enhanced precision and higher-speed machining, the P76 can be specified with a 15,000rev/min spindle, linear scales, rotary table, through-spindle coolant and a Heidenhain TNC-620/640 CNC.
