Overview

The Mikron VCE 2000 Pro is a long-bed vertical machining center with 2,000 mm of X travel. It is not in GF Machining Solutions' current lineup and should be treated as an older model. The listed figures give 2,000 x 900 x 800 mm of travel, a 2,100 x 850 mm table and a table load of 3000 kg.

That load rating is the reason to look at this machine: 3000 kg is well beyond the 1700 kg of the current Mikron VCE 1400 Pro. Long weldments, mould bases and plates two metres long are the kind of work the envelope allows. The Mikron VCE 1600 Pro shares the 900 mm of Y and 800 mm of Z on a shorter 1,700 x 850 mm table, so the choice between the two older models comes down to X length and the load rating.

The rest of the listing is shared with the smaller older VCE models. Spindle speed is 16,000 rpm, with 10,000 and 6,000 rpm alternatives, on BT40 or HSK-A63 taper. Tool capacity is 30, 40 or 60 pockets, the control a Heidenhain TNC 640, feed 20 m/min and rapids 40 m/min, and System 3R Workpartner 1+, Transformer WorkMaster and Transformer 6-axis are named for automation. A machine this long needs its weight, footprint and foundation requirements from the seller before purchase; none is in the listed figures.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the VCE 2000 Pro a current model?

No. GF Machining Solutions does not list it in its current Mikron lineup. It is likely an older model, so the spindle, control and condition of a particular machine need checking before purchase.

02 How heavy a part can the VCE 2000 Pro carry?

The listed table load is 3000 kg on a 2,100 x 850 mm table. Include fixtures and any rotary table in that figure, and confirm the rating against the machine plate on a used machine.

03 How does the VCE 2000 Pro differ from the Mikron VCE 1600 Pro?

The Mikron VCE 1600 Pro lists 1,600 x 900 x 800 mm of travel and a 1,700 x 850 mm table. The VCE 2000 Pro has 2,000 x 900 x 800 mm, a 2,100 x 850 mm table and a listed table load of 3000 kg. Spindles, magazine and control are listed the same.

04 Which control and tooling does the VCE 2000 Pro use?

The listed control is Heidenhain TNC 640. Taper is BT40 or HSK-A63, depending on the spindle fitted, and the magazine holds 30, 40 or 60 tools. Confirm which taper a used machine has before buying holders.
