Campro NV-1280

Q: How much does the Campro NV-1280 cost?

The price estimate for the Campro NV-1280 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/campro-nv-1280#price; the request is passed to Campro or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Campro NV-1280 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

With 1,280 mm (50.3 in) of X travel and a table rated for 1,200 kg (2,645 lb), the Campro NV-1280 is the larger of the two NV series vertical machining centers. Y travel is 650 mm (25.5 in) and Z is 630 mm (24.8 in).

The series idea is a linear-guide machine that can still take a real cut. Campro fits heavy-duty roller type linear guideways on 3 axes and supports the table on three blocks along the X axis, which it says gives maximum rigidity and loading capacity. That shows in the rating: the NV-1280 carries half as much again as the 800 kg (1,763 lb) of the NV-1020, on a table of 1,380 × 650 mm (54.3 in x 25.5 in).

It pays for the size in speed. Rapids are 36 m/min in X and Y and 24 m/min in Z, where the NV-1020 reaches 48 m/min and 32 m/min. Those are still quick figures for a machine of 8,500 kg (18,739 lb).

Spindle and magazine are shared with the smaller model. Standard speed is 10,000 rpm on an 11 / 15 kW (20 HP) motor, with higher speeds optional (OPT: 12,000 / 15,000 rpm). Campro states the spindle comes with an oil cooler as standard to hold a constant operating temperature. The arm type changer stores 24 BT-40 tools and larger magazines are listed (OPT: 30 / 32 / 40). The one-piece column has a shoulder that supports the tool magazine, which Campro says reduces vibration during tool changes.

The floor plan is 3,750 × 2,500 mm (147 in x 98 in), height 2,800 mm (110 in), and power capacity 25 kVA.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,200 kg (2,645 lb) table load on roller type linear guideways
1,380 × 650 mm (54.3 in x 25.5 in) table with 650 mm (25.5 in) of Y travel
36 m/min rapids in X and Y on an 8,500 kg (18,739 lb) machine

Limitations

Rapids are lower than the NV-1020, which lists 48 / 48 / 32 m/min
Same 11 / 15 kW (20 HP) motor as the NV-1020 despite the heavier table load
7 sec chip to chip tool change
Tool weight limit of 7 kg (15 lb) rules out large face mills

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the NV-1280 and the NV-1020?

The NV-1280 has 1,280 mm (50.3 in) of X travel, a 1,380 × 650 mm (54.3 in x 25.5 in) table and a 1,200 kg (2,645 lb) load, with 36 / 36 / 24 m/min rapids. The NV-1020 has 1,020 mm (40.1 in) of X, an 800 kg (1,763 lb) load and 48 / 48 / 32 m/min rapids. Spindle and tool changer are the same.

02 What spindle is fitted to the NV-1280?

A 7/24 taper No.40 spindle at 10,000 rpm as standard, with 12,000 and 15,000 rpm options, driven by an 11 / 15 kW (20 HP) motor. Campro states that the spindle is equipped with an oil cooler as standard to maintain a constant operating temperature and prevent thermal expansion.

03 How many tools does the NV-1280 hold?

24 as standard in an arm type changer, with larger magazines listed as options (OPT: 30 / 32 / 40). Tools can be Ø80 mm (Ø3.1 in), or Ø150 mm (Ø5.9 in) with adjacent pockets empty, 250 mm (9.8 in) long and 7 kg (15 lb). Tool to tool time is 2.5 sec.

04 What are the clearances under the spindle of the NV-1280?

The distance from spindle nose to table surface is 100~730 mm (3.9 in ~ 28.7 in), and the distance from spindle center to column is 722 mm (28.4 in). Z axis travel is 630 mm (24.8 in). Campro notes that an optional 4/5-axis table is available for the series.
