The VB315 is a high-performance Double Column Bridge Machining Center from JTEKT, part of the VB Series, specifically designed for power and endurance on heavy jobs. This fixed rail bridge machine excels at heavy cutting applications and large workpiece machining, supported by its enormous 122-inch x 55-1 inch work table. The machine can handle workpieces weighing up to 22,046 lb.

Precision is achieved without sacrificing speed, thanks to advanced construction features like roller guides and a hydraulic counterbalance system on the headstock. It boasts high positional accuracy with a linear position accuracy of plus-minus 0-0004 inch over full travel and a linear repeatability of plus-minus 0-0001 inch. The generous travel envelope includes 118-8 inches of X-axis travel, 59 inches of Y-axis travel, and 31-5 inches of Z-axis travel.

At the core of its cutting power is a robust 35 HP spindle with a CAT50 taper and a geared nose capable of achieving 6,000 RPM, delivering a strong 461 ft-lb of torque. The machine ensures high throughput with a rapid feed rate (X, Y, and Z) of 945 ipm and a maximum cutting feed rate of 590 ipm. It comes standard with a 32-tool storage capacity (expandable to 60 optional) and includes a hinged belt lift-up type chip conveyor. The VB315 is an ideal investment for shops seeking a large-format, high-power bridge mill that consistently delivers accuracy and productivity across all material types, including difficult-to-machine alloys.
