Vision Wide VB-3016

Q: How much does the Vision Wide VB-3016 cost?

The price estimate for the Vision Wide VB-3016 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/vision-wide-vb-3016#price; the request is passed to Vision Wide or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Vision Wide VB-3016 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

At 3,100 mm (122.0 in) of X travel, the Vision Wide VB-3016 is the longest VB on the narrower frame, and the first whose horizontal rapids drop. The table lists 12 m/min for X and Y and 15 m/min for Z; the VB-2516 lists 15 m/min on all three.

The table is 3,100×1,300 mm (122.0×51.2 in), a little over twice as long as it is wide, and it carries 10,000 kg (22,046 lb). The table length equals the X travel, so the spindle centre can reach both ends of the table surface. Y travel is 1,600 mm (63.0 in).

This shape is for long, heavy, narrow steel: press brake beds and rams, machine slideways, guide rails and long die shoes. Such parts are machined with large face mills at low speed, and the standard 4,000 rpm two-step gear spindle on 18.5/22 kW (24.8/29.5 hp) is specified for that.

Vision Wide describes the bed as a box shape with strong V-shape reinforcing ribs under guide ways set at an optimal span, to allow a heavy workpiece load. On a three-metre table the bed is what keeps a long part flat while it moves under the cutter.

Z travel is 800 mm, or 1,020 mm as an option.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the rapid traverse rates of the Vision Wide VB-3016?

12 m/min in X and Y and 15 m/min in Z. The shorter VB-2516 lists 15 m/min for all three axes. Cutting feed is 1-7,000 mm/min.

02 How long a part fits the VB-3016?

The table is 3,100×1,300 mm (122.0×51.2 in) and X travel is 3,100 mm (122.0 in). Maximum table load is 10,000 kg (22,046 lb).

03 Is there a wider VB with the same length?

Yes. The VB-3020 has 3,100 mm (122.0 in) of X with 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Y and a 3,100×1,700 mm (122.0×66.9 in) table rated for 11,000 kg (24,250 lb).

04 What spindle does the VB-3016 have?

A 4,000 rpm two-step gear spindle as standard, with a 6,000 rpm gear spindle optional. The motor is 18.5/22 kW (24.8/29.5 hp); larger motors are options.
