FAQ – Vertical Machine Center

Q1: What is the difference between a Vertical Machine Center and a Horizontal Machine Center?
A VMC has a vertical spindle orientation, ideal for flat surface machining, while an HMC has a horizontal spindle for better chip evacuation in heavy-duty cutting.

Q2: Can Alpha’s VMC handle large workpieces?
Yes, our large-format VMCs feature extended worktables and increased spindle travel for oversized components.

Q3: How do I maintain a VMC machine?
Regular lubrication, coolant monitoring, alignment checks, and timely part replacement ensure optimal performance.

Q4: Does Alpha offer custom VMC solutions?
Yes, we can customize spindle speed, table size, and CNC control systems according to your production needs.
