At Leichman, we understand that in modern manufacturing, speed, accuracy, and reliability are non-negotiable. That’s why we developed the VMC-855 Vertical Machining Center — a high-performance, versatile metal processing machine built to dramatically improve production line efficiency.
Designed for precision milling, drilling, tapping, and contouring, the VMC-855 is the go-to solution for manufacturers seeking superior quality and consistency. Whether you're producing molds, automotive parts, aerospace-grade components, or custom industrial tools, the VMC-855 delivers uncompromising performance at every step.
The VMC-855 is built on a high-grade Meehanite cast iron structure with ribbed reinforcement for maximum rigidity. This ensures long-term dimensional accuracy, superior vibration damping, and enhanced machine life — even under heavy cutting loads.
2. High-Speed Spindle and Servo Drives
Equipped with a BT40 direct-drive spindle operating up to 8000 RPM (optionally 10000 RPM), the VMC-855 supports high-speed and high-precision machining of metals such as aluminum, steel, copper, and stainless steel. Paired with rapid axis movements (up to 48 m/min) and responsive servo motors, you’ll achieve shorter cycle times without sacrificing accuracy.
3. Large Work Envelope
With X/Y/Z axis travels of 800/550/550 mm, the VMC-855 offers a generous working area that suits medium-sized parts and mold bases. The worktable size of 1000 x 550 mm provides ample space for multiple fixture setups, increasing productivity in batch operations.
4. Fully Enclosed, Chip-Free Workspace
The VMC-855 comes with a full protective enclosure, automatic chip conveyor, and high-pressure coolant system. These features keep the machining area clean, reduce tool wear, and ensure consistent cutting performance — all while improving operator safety.
5. Precision Linear Guideways
All three axes of the machine utilize high-speed linear guideways, enabling fast movement with minimal friction. This enhances machining responsiveness and surface finish quality, especially important for contouring, pocketing, and 3D surface operations.
6. Intelligent CNC Controller
The machine is equipped with a Syntec or FANUC control system, known for its powerful processing capabilities, intuitive interface, and reliability. With advanced interpolation functions, macro programming, and tool life management, the VMC-855 ensures efficient operation with minimal downtime.
