Vertical Machining Center Facilitates Precise Positioning

Romi has released the New Generation D 1000 vertical machining center. The company says it was designed and built based on extensive customer research with numerous features that enhance the machine’s rigidity and precision.

The D 1000 VMC has a 48" × 22" table and is equipped with a Fanuc 0i-MF i-HMI CNC with 15" touchscreen. It has a high speed and high quality package for better performance during machining. Linear roller guides enable feed rates up to 1.575 ipm (40 m/min), which supports precise and fast acceleration and positioning. Guides also increase robustness during machining and load capacity (part weight) on the table. The machine is equipped with a vertical tool changer with 30 tool capacity.

Like all Romi machine tools, it is built with Romi-made monoblock cast iron beds that absorb vibration, supporting consistent production of highly precise parts. It features thermal compensation with sensors to help maintain stable, dimensional results in real time, even during long working periods when the machine temperature increases.

The Romi VMC is also equipped with a low maintenance, 40 big plus taper direct drive motor that improves stiffness and accuracy and allows increased depth of cut. Romi USA general manager Rafael Boldorini notes that the machine was built from the ground up for rigidity, with the weight of the machine itself supporting accuracy.
