The largest of the VS Series (5-Axis) machines, the V100S will handle workpieces up to 78.74” x 98.42” Y x 41.33” Z and up to 33,069 pounds. Configured with a 20,000 rpm, HSK-A63 spindle, the machine is targeted for high-speed semi-finishing and finishing of large die and mold parts.

There is no magic formula for discovering the optimum number of parts that can be placed on your fixture, though a few general rules apply. In essence, the optimum configuration point is a cross between the cycle time of a part and the number of parts per fixture. One must also consider that different...
