Highlights

CNC milling machine Premium – Industry

Discover the possibilities

Typical vhf: manufacturing without compromises. With the vhf Premium you can machine a wide range of materials, such as plastics, metals or wood, powerfully and precisely. It can be panels, profile sections or housings – with the Premium, users are ideally equipped in all industries where CNC milling technology is deployed. Because the milling machines in this series are as versatile and individual as your applications.

CNC milling machine Premium – Housing

Safe as houses: housings

The machines in the Premium series can be built in different versions, with full or partial safety housings.

CNC milling machine Premium – Working area

Individual working area according to your specifications

Our Premium machines are configured specifically for your application and can be supplied in 500 mm steps, up to a size of 2 x 3 meters.

CNC milling machine Premium – Linear guides

Quiet running and sharp edges

The stable frame and the powerful drives with twin linear guides and two y axes mean the machine runs extremely smoothly. This is reflected in the excellent quality of the edges produced by the Premium series.

CNC milling machine Premium 1520

Virtually no set-up time

Get maximum flexibility thanks to different clamping ranges: the front clamping area for fixing large-volume workpieces (such as housings), the T-slot area for individual mechanical or pneumatic clamping devices, and the vacuum table for efficient clamping in plate processing.

CNC milling machine Premium – Premium Pro package

Perfectly prepared: Premium Pro package

We recommend the Premium Pro package to give your milling machine even more reliability, rigidity and power.

  • Axis cover
    The axis covering completely covers the rubber lip protected openings of the guide rails of the linear axes. So it effectively prevents that chips may impair the drive units.
  • Bridge stiffener
    The bridge stiffener supports the x axis with an additional U-shaped beam that can be adjusted for optimal stability using tension and pressure bolts.

Features

CNC milling machine Premium – Equipment options

Maximum variety of equipment options

The Premium series from vhf gives you the widest possible choice for equipping your machine, with a variety of spindles, fixing devices and optional extras. We configure the right machine for you.

Precisely manufactured ball screw spindles from high-alloy steel ensure stability, precision and the reliable transmission of torque from the powerful motors.

High workpieces can be fastened vertically, so you can work on the ends of larger casings, for instance.

For the z axis range there are four versions, with 190, 290, 390 or 490 mm, depending on whether your applications involve more thin sheet material or thicker shapes.

Sample applications – Whatever you need, your Premium can do it

Whether you are processing non-ferrous metals such as aluminum or aluminum composites, all plastics such as acrylic, foams, soft and hard rubber as well as wood and cardboard or similar – Premium CNC machines do not stop at any common material. And every application becomes incredibly easy for you.

    2. What would you like to produce on the machine?

    3. Application

    4. Machine size

    5. z axis range

    Height of the bridge gantry and z travel range. A greater height is relevant for tool changers and higher materials.

    No automatic tool changer is possible with this z axis lift.

    6. Premium Pro package

    Bridge reinforcement with stable U-beams and covers for the Y-axis guides to protect them against chips and dirt.

    We recommend you the Premium Pro package because it increases the rigidity of your machine, and you will benefit from better results; in addition, sensitive machine parts are better protected.

    7. Front clamping area 250 mm

    Recess in the front area of ​​the machine table for fixing housings and high components.

    Due to the short machine length, we do not recommend an additional front clamping area.

    7.1 Pneumatic clamping device 250 mm

    Fixing profile element with 2 pneumatic clamping claws for fastening workpieces in the front clamping area.

    8. Special vacuum table

    Fastens your workpieces easily and quickly. Milling through is also possible thanks to the vhf vacuum fleece.

    The length of the special vacuum table is reduced by the size of the front clamping area.

    9. Housing

    Circumferential machine housing with folding doors secured by safety contacts.

    Due to the size of the machine, we do not recommend an enclosure.

    10. Machining unit milling

    A selection of powerful three-phase rotary current spindles suitable for your application.

    kW indication S1, at 100% machining time

    11. Automatic tool changer

    Pneumatically retractable, automatic SK cone changer, outside the processing area.

    Due to the selected spindle SPC1500 with manual clamping, no automatic tool changer is possible.

    An automatic tool changer is not possible due to the small z-axis stroke.

    12. Machining unit cutting

    Electrically oscillating tangential cutting head with 116 Hertz for cutting lances up to 70 mm, incl. protection against manual intervention. Can be mounted alternately to the spindle.

    No cutting unit is possible with the three-phase spindle SPC5000P.

    13. Dust extraction unit

    Height-adjustable device for extraction of dust and chips directly at the milling tool. Here, the vhf suction shoe encloses the milling cutter and at the same time serves as protection against manual intervention.

    14. Industrial vacuum cleaner

    Powerful industrial vacuum cleaner for picking up the milling dust and chips.

    15. Tool cooling

    Electronically controlled cooling unit to increase tool life and improve edge quality when processing metals.

    For machining aluminum, we recommend the use of a tool cooling system.


    Minimum quantity lubrication

    Cooling and spraying unit

    16. Automatic z adjustment

    Tool for quickly measuring the workpiece height.

    17. Control panel

    Manual control box for machine positioning and for influencing spindle speed and feed during processing.

    18. System cabinet

    Central workstation for machine operation, vacuum control and accommodation of the control electronics.

    A system cabinet is required due to the selected three-phase spindle.

    19. Software

    We would be happy to offer you a 3D software that corresponds to your application.
