Overview

The Spinner VC560 is a vertical machining center with an SK 40 / BT 40 spindle and about 560 mm (22.0 in) of X travel. Spinner does not have it in its current lineup, so it is a machine to assess used, and the listed figures should be checked against the documentation of the individual machine.

That check is needed here because the listed figures do not fully agree with each other. One set of rows gives the travels as 560 mm (22.0 in) in X, 450 mm (17.7 in) in Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) in Z. A second set gives 22.25" in X and 16.14" in both Y and Z. The control is named once as Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl with Fanuc as an option and once as Fanuc 21iMB. Measure the travels and note the control on the machine in front of you instead of relying on either set.

The remaining listed figures are consistent. The spindle runs to 12,000 rpm, with 15,000 rpm listed as optional, on 13 kW (17.4 hp) as standard or 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) as an option. The table is 1,050 x 500 mm (41.3 x 19.7 in) and carries 600 kg (1,323 lb). A 24-tool chain magazine changes tools in 3.5 sec tool-to-tool. Rapids are 24 m/min in X and Y and 20 m/min in Z on hardened and ground box ways, and the weight is approximately 7,500 kg (16,535 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

12,000 rpm spindle listed, with 15,000 rpm optional, on 13 kW (17.4 hp) standard or 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) optional
1,050 x 500 mm (41.3 x 19.7 in) table rated for 600 kg (1,323 lb)
Hardened and ground box ways, with rapids of 24 m/min in X and Y and 20 m/min in Z
Listed positioning accuracy of ±0.004 mm and repeatability of ±0.002 mm
24-tool chain magazine with a 3.5 sec tool-to-tool change

Limitations

Not in Spinner's current lineup, and the listed figures are unconfirmed
The listed figures give two sets of travels: 450 mm (17.7 in) in Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) in Z in one, 16.14" for both in the other
Two controls are named, Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl with a Fanuc option and Fanuc 21iMB, so the control has to be checked on the machine
The magazine holds 24 tools, which limits how many jobs can stay set up at once

Best For

Small prismatic parts within about 560 mm (22.0 in) of X travel Workpieces and fixtures up to 600 kg (1,323 lb) on the table Small-tool work at 12,000 rpm, or 15,000 rpm where that option is fitted

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the Spinner VC560 still in production?

Spinner does not have the VC560 in its current lineup, so it is a machine to look for used. Treat the listed figures as a guide and confirm them on the individual machine, starting with the travels and the control, where the listed figures disagree.

02 What are the travels of the VC560?

The listed figures are not consistent. One set gives 560 mm (22.0 in) in X, 450 mm (17.7 in) in Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) in Z. Another gives 22.25" in X and 16.14" in both Y and Z. X is close in both, but Y and Z differ enough to decide whether a part fits, so measure the machine you are considering.

03 What spindle does the VC560 have?

The listed figures show a BT 40 / SK 40 taper and 12,000 rpm, with 15,000 rpm as an option. Spindle power is listed as 13 kW (17.4 hp) standard and 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) optional, so check which motor and which top speed a particular machine has. No torque figure is listed.

04 Which control does the VC560 use?

Two are named in the listed figures: Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl with Fanuc as an option, and Fanuc 21iMB. Which one a given machine has can only be settled by looking at it, and it is worth doing early because it decides which programs and which operators the machine suits.
