How much does the GF Machining Mikron VCE 1200 Pro cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from GF Machining Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
GF Machining Solutions does not list the Mikron VCE 1200 Pro among its current machines, and it should be read as a probable earlier model. According to the listed figures it is a long-table vertical machining center with 1,200 mm of X, 600 mm of Y and 675 mm of Z, on a 1,220 x 620 mm table.
Those Y and Z figures match the current Mikron VCE 1400 Pro, which has 1400 x 600 x 675 mm and a 1400 x 620 mm table rated for 1700 kg. Someone weighing a used VCE 1200 Pro against a new machine is therefore choosing mainly between X length and age. The listed VCE 1200 Pro table is 620 mm wide, the same as the current machine, so fixtures should transfer between the two.
The spindle listing gives 16,000 rpm, or 10,000 rpm as an option, with BT40 or HSK-A63 taper; the magazine holds 30, 40 or 60 tools; the control is Heidenhain TNC 640. Feed is listed at 20 m/min and rapids at 40 m/min. Automation listed for the machine is System 3R Workpartner 1+, Transformer WorkMaster and Transformer 6-axis. There is no table load in the listed figures, which matters on a table this long: ask for the plate rating before loading heavy plates.
