High-Speed Vertical Machining Centers

The new generation Romi D Series vertical machining centers offer users higher productivity, robustness, and precision.

Designed and built based on extensive customer research, the new generation Romi D Series vertical machining centers 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.

 

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 or 15,000 rpm. Direct drive is low maintenance and improves accuracy and repeatability, while the big-bore 40-taper increases stiffness and allows the increased depth of cut during machining.

 

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

 

Linear roller guides on all three models facilitate feed rates up to 1,575 in/min (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.

 

The three models—D 800, D 1000, and D 1250—have a robust net machine weight of 20,500, 21,800, and 23,000 lb. respectively, and a maximum machining volume of 31 x 24 x 25, 40 x 24 x 25, and 50 x 24 x 25 in. respectively. Each model provides a 30 tool automatic vertical tool changer.
