Generation D Series Vertical Machining Centers

Generation D Series Vertical Machining Centers Built for Rigidity, Precision, and Speed

Designed and built based on extensive customer research, the New Generation Romi D Series vertical machining centers offer users higher productivity, robustness, and precision. Like all Romi machine tools, they are built with Romi made monoblock cast iron beds that absorb vibration and allow consistent production of highly precise parts.

In the USA, Romi offers three models, the D 800, the D 1000, and the D 1250. All three are equipped with big-bore 40-taper direct drive spindles with speeds of 10,000 or 15,000 rpm. Direct drive is low maintenance and improves accuracy and repeatability, while the big-bore 40-taper increases stiffness and allows increased depth of cut during machining.

The machines are equipped with thermal compensation, with sensors, to improve precision. Each model is equipped with a Fanuc 0i-MF i-HMI CNC with 15” touchscreen, and a high speed and high quality package that allows better performance during machining.

Linear roller guides on all three models facilitate feed rates up to 1,575 inches / minute (40 m / min), which allows for precise and fast acceleration and positioning. They also increase robustness during machining and load capacity (part weight) on the table.

The three models, D 800, D 1000 and D 1250 have a robust net machine weight of 20,500 lbs, 21,800 lbs and 23,000 lbs respectively, and a maximum machining volume of 31 x 24 x 25 inches, 40 x 24 x 25 inches and 50 x 24 x 25 inches respectively. Each model is equipped with a a 30 tool automatic vertical tool changer.

Related Glossary Terms

  • centers

    centers

    Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.

  • computer numerical control ( CNC)

    computer numerical control ( CNC)

    Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.

  • depth of cut

    depth of cut

    Distance between the bottom of the cut and the uncut surface of the workpiece, measured in a direction at right angles to the machined surface of the workpiece.

  • feed

    feed

    Rate of change of position of the tool as a whole, relative to the workpiece while cutting.

  • stiffness

    stiffness

    1. Ability of a material or part to resist elastic deflection. 2. The rate of stress with respect to strain; the greater the stress required to produce a given strain, the stiffer the material is said to be. See dynamic stiffness; static stiffness.
