VMCs Built for Rigidity, Precision and Speed

“Designed and built based on extensive customer research, the new generation Romi D Series vertical machining centers (VMCs) offer users higher productivity, robustness and precision. Like all Romi machine tools, they are built with Romi made monoblock cast iron beds that absorb vibration and allow consistent production of highly precise parts,” said a company spokesperson.

In the USA, 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 RPM or 15,000 RPM. “Direct drive is low maintenance and improves accuracy and repeatability, while the big-bore 40-taper increases stiffness and allows increased depth of cut during machining,” said the spokesperson.

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

“Linear roller guides on all three models facilitate feedrates up to 1,575 IPM (40 m/min), which allows for precise and fast acceleration and positioning. They also increase robustness during machining and load capacity (part weight) on the table,” said the spokesperson.

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