Romi’s D Series Vertical Machining Centers Built for Rigidity and Speed

Romi’s D Series vertical machining centers (VMCs) are designed and built, based on customer research, to offer users higher productivity, robustness and precision. The VMCs are built with Romi-made monoblock cast iron beds that absorb vibration to allow consistent production of highly precise parts. In the United States, Romi offers three models — the D 800, D 1000 and D 1250. All three are equipped with big-bore, 40-taper, direct-drive spindles with speeds of 10,000 or 15,000 rpm. A direct-drive system is said to be low maintenance and improves accuracy and repeatability, while the big-bore 40-taper increases stiffness and allows increased depth of cut.

The machines are equipped with thermal compensation (with sensors) to improve precision. Each model features a FANUC 0i-MF i-HMI CNC with 15″ touchscreen, and a high-speed package that is said to allow better performance during machining. Linear roller guides on all three models facilitate feed rates up to 1,575 ipm (40 m/min), which allows for precise, fast acceleration and positioning. These guides are also said to increase robustness during machining and higher load capacity (part weight) on the table.

The models D 800, D 1000 and D 1250 have a net machine weight of 20,500 lbs., 21,800 lbs. and 23,000 lbs., respectively; and a maximum machining volume of 31 × 24 × 25 inches, 40 × 24 × 25 inches and 50 × 24 × 25 inches, respectively. Each model is also equipped with a 30-tool automatic vertical tool changer.

VMCs Built for Rigidity, Precision, and Speed

Three models of a new Romi D Series vertical machining center with big-bore spindles and drive packages that promote stability and increased depths-of-cut.

The new versions of ROMI MACHINE TOOLS’ D Series vertical machining center offer users higher productivity, robustness, and precision. Designed and built with customer input, D Series VMCs are based on Romi-produced monoblock cast iron beds that absorb vibration and allow consistent production of highly precise parts.

For U.S. customers Romi offers three models: the D 800, the D 1000, and the D 1250. All three are equipped with “big-bore”, 40-taper direct-drive spindles with speeds of 10,000 or 15,000 rpm. Direct-drive is a low-maintenance feature that improves accuracy and repeatability, while the big-bore 40-taper increases stability and allows increased depths-of-cut during machining.

The machines are equipped with thermal compensation, with sensors, to improve precision. Each model is equipped with a Fanuc 0i-MF i-HMI CNC, a 15-in. touchscreen, and a high speed and high quality package that allows better performance during machining.

Linear roller guides on all three models make possible feed rates up to 1,575 in./minute (40 m/min), for precise and fast acceleration and positioning. These guides also increase sturdiness during machining and load capacity (part weight) on the table.

For the three models, net machine weights and maximum machining volume are:
— D 800 /20,500 lbs. / 31 x 24 x 25 in.
— D 1000 / 21,800 lbs. / 40 x 24 x 25 in.
— D 1250 / 23,000 lbs. / 50 x 24 x 25 in.
Each model is equipped with a 30-tool automatic vertical tool changer.

Romi Heavy Duty CNC Lathes Feature Romi-Built Monoblock Beds

ERLANGER, KY (December 20, 2019) – Romi C Series heavy-duty flatbed CNC lathes are built with Romi made monoblock cast iron beds for optimum rigidity, accuracy and performance. The heavy-duty C Series includes nine models ranging from the C 1100H with a 28” (720 mm) swing over cross slide and 72 hp main motor, to the massive C 2600H with an 80” (2,030 mm) swing over cross slide, and a 155 hp main motor. All key components of Romi machine tools are designed and built in house for complete control and assurance of manufacturing quality.

Romi’s line of heavy duty CNC lathes feature net weights ranging from approximately 39,700 lbs. (18,000 kg) to 134,500 lbs. (61,000 kg), maximum weight between centers from a generous 33,100 lbs (15,000 kg) to 110,200 lbs (50,000 kg), and maximum torque from 12,429 to 44,200 Nm.

The robust monoblock bed is made of gray cast iron and exhibits extreme rigidity. The cast iron headstock, also manufactured by Romi, features a spindle with Timken bearings.

Romi heavy-duty CNC lathes are powered by a high torque, continuously variable speed AC motor. The manually driven quill has a built-in live center with high precision bearings.

All models are built to reduce machine vibration and allow fast and accurate machining at full power. They are ideal for heavy applications in the mining, aerospace, steel mill, and oil and gas industries.
