V-8B Vertical Machining Centre

The V-8B is tabled with both Mitsubishi M80 and FANUC 0i MF Plus packages, each with matched axis and spindle motors — the drive configuration table on this page names motor models, power and torque per axis. Other combinations are quoted on request, and whichever you choose is written into the contract line by line.

Two build points matter most on this machine: high-rigidity main structure, checked by finite element analysis, with good vibration resistance so it stays stable and does not deform over the long term, holding accuracy through high-speed machining; and the spindle uses vibration-absorbing materials for accuracy and imported ceramic ball bearings for running precision and low temperature rise; the short, thick pull stud adds rigidity for stronger cutting. Structure decides how a machine ages — the specification table tells you what it does new, the build tells you what it does in year five.

Catalogued options for the V-8B include: Fourth axis; Fifth axis; CTS (coolant through spindle). Options are named line by line on the quotation with the base configuration, so what is written is what arrives — and if an option does not earn its money on your parts, we will say so.

Both sit in the vertical machining centre group, so the decision is capacity and duty, not kind: put your largest part dimensions, material and yearly quantity against each specification table and one of the two will run out of a figure first. Send the drawing and we will name which of the two fits — including the case where the smaller machine does the job.

Every V-8B is laser-measured to ISO 230-2 over its travels, cuts a test piece that is measured rather than admired, and ships with a serial-numbered report carrying the measured values. If any line misses, the machine goes back into the shop until it passes — the report is a record, not a promise.
