The workbench is a platform for clamping the workpiece directly. TSINFA’s VMC 650 CNC milling machine is equipped with a standard worktable measuring 800mm x 400mm. This area is capable of accommodating large-sized workpieces while also ensuring the compactness of the structure.
The workbench surface has been precisely ground and is equipped with three T-shaped grooves while each width is 16mm. It is used for installing clamps, fixtures or special tools, providing high flexibility and stability in assembly. With a travel range of 650mm (X-axis) x 400mm (Y-axis), this design makes that the workpiece can freely move within the effective processing space to complete cutting tasks at different positions.
Spindle System
Spindle Motor
The VMC 650 is typically equipped with a 5.5 kW AC asynchronous motor, which can provide powerful cutting power. For applications that require higher efficiency and stable high-speed operation, you can also choose servo spindle motors. It can achieve more precise speed control and faster acceleration and deceleration responses.
Spindle
The main shaft of the equipment is equipped with a configuration imported from Taiwan. The core specification is the BT40 taper hole, which is the mainstream medium-sized tool interface standard in the industry. This specification achieves a perfect balance between rigidity, rotational speed and the diversity of cutting tools. It enables high rotational speed, high rigidity and high precision. Its standard rotational speed can reach 8000 r.p.m., and it is capable of processing various materials including steel, cast iron, and aluminum alloy.
To ensure the stability and lifespan of the main shaft under high-speed conditions, we use the world’s top-quality bearings, such as German FAG bearings and Japanese NSK bearings.
Feed System
The feed system is responsible for driving the worktable and the spindle head to perform precise movements in the X, Y, and Z directions. It determines the accuracy of the machining path and the surface quality. This system is composed of servo motors, high-precision ball screws and linear guides.
Through the optimized structural design, the three axes can achieve a rapid moving speed of 24/24/20 m/min, which reduces the non-cutting time significantly. With a cutting feed rate of up to 10,000 mm/min, it can meet the requirements of both efficient rough machining and high-speed fine machining.
CNC System
The VMC 650 is compatible with the world’s leading CNC systems, such as Fanuc, Siemens, Mitsubishi, and GSK. These systems are renowned for their high reliability, user-friendly interface and powerful functions. They can precisely control every movement of the machine tool and achieve complex multi-axis processing. And they can offer a positioning accuracy of ±0.015 mm and a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.008 mm.
Automatic Tool Changing System
The automatic tool magazine can complete the automatic tool replacement within a few seconds. This enables the workpiece to complete various processes such as milling, drilling, tapping and boring in a single setup, thereby enhancing the processing efficiency.
Auxiliary System
The electronic automatic lubrication system can provide lubrication for the guide rails and screws at regular intervals and in fixed quantities. It can extend the lifespan of critical moving parts and maintain accuracy. The cooling system works by spraying coolant onto the cutting area which reducing the temperatures of both the cutting tools and the workpieces effectively. This ensures the quality of the processing and extends the lifespan of the cutting tools.
Factors to Consider When Choosing the VMC 650 CNC Milling Machine
Clarify Your Own Processing Requirements
All the selections should be based on your own products.
- Processing Material: This is the primary factor determining the rigidity of the spindle and the machine tool. For example, metals such as aluminium and copper usually require a high-speed spindle of at least 8000 rpm to achieve efficient cutting. While for black metals such as steel and cast iron, more emphasis is placed on the torque and rigidity of the spindle at medium rotational speeds.
- Workpiece Size and Weight: You need to verify the maximum size of your workpiece to ensure that it can be properly clamped on the VMC 650 worktable and that its weight is within the maximum load limit. At the same time, the size of the workpiece must be smaller than the XYZ travel range of the machine tool to avoid interference.
- Process Requirement: If it’s just about simple milling and drilling, the standard configuration will suffice. However, if it involves deep hole drilling, you will need a central water drainage function to remove the chips. If you want to machine the mold cavity, you might need a higher-speed spindle to keep the smoothness.
Core Component Configuration
- The CNC system controls the movement of the entire equipment. The mainstream systems such as Fanuc and Mitsubishi from Japan possess extremely strong stability and wide industry adaptability. They have become a reliable choice for the majority of general processing scenarios. While the German Siemens system is more powerful in achieving complex curved surfaces and five-axis linkage and other advanced processing tasks. You can make the choice based on the complexity of the processing and the technical habits of the operation team.
- The spindle and the transmission system are the components that directly perform the cutting task. The high rigidity spindle of BT40 specification is the standard configuration of VMC 650. The bearings used inside it determine the accuracy retention and lifespan of the main shaft during long-term high-speed operation.
Future Expansion Capability
We suggest that you could choose the model with a reserved CNC interface for the fourth axis. This will provide the possibility for you to process complex parts such as cams, spiral grooves, and polyhedral components in the future. By adding a CNC rotary table, it is possible to complete multi-face processing with a single setup. This reduces the clamping time and improves the positioning accuracy. It enables your production line to have a more flexible production capacity.

The VMC650 is typically suitable for medium-sized milling, drilling, boring, tapping and other machining operations. It can process planes, grooves, curved surfaces, gear parts, inner holes, etc. It can also process components, shells, molds and small to medium batch complex parts. Its X-axis travel of approximately 650 mm enables it to have a good balance between the processing range and space utilization.
The VMC 650 standard BT40 spindle and T-shaped slot worktable have excellent versatility. As long as the handle of the tool conforms to the BT40 standard and the base of the fixture matches the T-shaped slot of the worktable, it can be used.
For non-standard cutting tools, it is necessary to make sure that their length and weight are within the allowable range of the equipment. Special fixtures need to be verified to ensure that their height will not interfere with the main shaft.
During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the machine tool foundation is stable, the ground load capacity is appropriate, and the level adjustment is properly carried out. The guide rails and screw rods should be lubricated, cleaned regularly and debris should be prevented from accumulating.
In addition, you need to regularly inspect the cooling and lubrication systems and the tool magazine to make sure they are operating normally. Avoid affecting the processing quality due to faults in the auxiliary systems.
Finally, the operators should be familiar with the control system and use the fixtures, tools and cutting parameters correctly. This will enable the full potential of the machine tool to be realized.
