MV 1600H 3-axis VMC "Plain and simple, it's the best of both worlds," said Nicholas St. Cyr, Methods Machining Centers Product Manager. "The hybrid box-and-linear design allows users to perform deep, exact cuts quickly," he said. "Customers don't have to sacrifice agility for precision." Rapid rates are 36 meters per minute (m/m) on the X- and Y-axes and 24 m/m on the Z-axis, ensuring fast tool movements. Methods designed every aspect for cutting large workpieces. The work area spans 63.0" by 31.5" while the table has a capacity of 3,300 pounds (lbs.) and measures 66.9" by 33.5". Weighing approximately 41,800 pounds (lbs.), the MV 1600H has a heavy-cast construction, dampening reverberations and giving operators greater precision and improved surface finishing capability.
