VMC 855 Vertical Machining Center

The VMC855 Vertical Machining Center is a three-axis CNC machining solution for precision milling, drilling, tapping, boring, contour machining, and multi-operation metalworking. With 800 mm X-axis travel, 550 mm Y-axis travel, 550 mm Z-axis travel, and a 1000 × 550 mm worktable, it is suitable for medium-sized molds, fixture plates, automotive parts, hydraulic components, valve bodies, equipment housings, brackets, and general precision-machined parts.

Designed with a BT40 spindle, linear guideways, a 24-tool magazine, and spindle-speed options up to 12,000 rpm, the VMC855 can support a wide range of machining requirements from general industrial parts to higher-speed aluminum machining and precision mold work.

ACR can help configure the VMC855 according to your workpiece drawing, material, required machining process, production quantity, tooling preference, automation requirement, and destination-country electrical standard.

Typical workpieces include:

• Mold bases and mold inserts

• Injection mold components

• Die-casting mold components

• Fixture plates and inspection fixtures

• Automotive brackets and covers

• Transmission covers and small housings

• Hydraulic valve blocks

• Pump bodies and fluid-control components

• Aluminum equipment enclosures

• Stainless steel mechanical parts

• Machine-tool components

• Tooling plates and production jigs

• Aerospace fixture components

• Medical-equipment housings

• Laboratory equipment parts

• Precision mounting plates

• Small and medium structural components

• General CNC-machined metal parts

For rotational parts such as shafts, sleeves, hubs, flanges, and threaded components, please review our Slant Bed CNC Lathe Machines or CNC Turning and Milling Machines.

VMC855 for Mold Making

The VMC855 is suitable for small and medium mold manufacturing projects where stable milling, drilling, tapping, cavity machining, and finishing are required.

Typical mold-related applications include:

• Plastic injection mold components

• Mold inserts

• Core and cavity plates

• Mold bases

• Electrode holders

• Fixture plates

• Prototype tooling

• Small stamping die components

• Precision tooling blocks

• Inspection fixtures

• Assembly jigs

The 800 × 550 × 550 mm travel range provides a practical machining envelope for many medium-size tooling components. The 24-tool magazine helps support multiple machining stages without frequent manual tool changes.

For larger molds, heavy dies, or wide tooling plates, please review our Gantry Machining Centers.

VMC855 for Automotive Parts

Automotive parts often require repeatable machining of brackets, covers, housings, fixtures, valve blocks, and production tooling. The VMC855 can be used for a range of automotive and vehicle-component machining projects.

Typical automotive applications include:

• Engine covers

• Transmission covers

• Brake-system components

• Suspension brackets

• Steering components

• Mounting plates

• Aluminum housings

• Fixture plates

• Inspection jigs

• Pump-related components

• EV equipment enclosures

• Battery-system support components

• Small structural castings

For automotive shafts, hubs, sleeves, flanges, and other rotational parts, a CNC lathe may be more suitable. For box-type housings requiring machining on multiple sides, consider a Horizontal Machining Center.

VMC855 for Hydraulic and Valve Components

Hydraulic and valve manufacturers often machine parts with multiple holes, threaded ports, sealing surfaces, cavities, and precision mounting features.

The VMC855 can be considered for:

• Hydraulic valve blocks

• Pump housings

• Fluid-control components

• Manifold blocks

• Mounting brackets

• Precision plates

• Valve covers

• Aluminum and steel housings

• Machinery fittings

• Production fixtures for hydraulic parts

For larger valve bodies or multi-face components, a Horizontal Machining Center may provide a more suitable machining arrangement.

VMC855 for Aerospace and Precision Components

The VMC855 can support machining of medium-sized aerospace tooling, aluminum structural parts, brackets, support components, inspection fixtures, and prototype parts.

Typical aerospace-related uses include:

• Fixture plates

• Aerospace assembly jigs

• Aluminum brackets

• Equipment covers

• Support structures

• Prototype components

• Inspection tooling

• Precision mounting parts

• Small aerospace housings

• Manufacturing fixtures

For complex multi-angle aerospace parts, curved surfaces, deep cavities, or parts requiring machining from several directions, please review our Five Axis Machining Centers.

VMC855 vs. Larger Vertical Machining Centers

The VMC855 is suitable for many medium-sized machining projects, but a larger model may be needed when part size, travel, worktable load, or spindle requirements increase.

For larger workpieces, please review the VMC1370 Vertical Machining Center or contact ACR with your drawing for a machine recommendation.
