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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Leichman VMC-855 is designed to meet the needs of industries demanding high-precision and high-efficiency production:
Automotive: Cylinder heads, transmission housings, brackets, and flanges
Aerospace (non-structural parts): Instrument casings, actuator housings
Electronics: Heat sinks, housings, and precision mounting components
Mold & Die: Mold bases, electrode machining, and cavity cutting
General Engineering: Customized components and industrial tools
Whether your focus is prototyping or mass production, the VMC-855 adapts seamlessly to your workflow.
