Massive Cast Iron Box Way Construction -
The VMC-1814 machine casting design was CAD designed with FEA (Finite Element Analysis), and computer analyzed with internal structure reinforcement with numerous strategically placed heavy cast ribs to intensify rigidity. The heavy-duty casting and the box way design dampen vibration for superior machining capability for fine surface finishes and enhanced tool life providing you with substantial tooling cost savings.

The machine is constructed of all certified premium Meehaniteฎ castings. The wide spacing of the saddle box ways offers the optimal guide ratio for the slideways further enhancing the rugged design of the machine. The Ganesh VMC-1814 weighs twice as much as most competitive machines in this class for added strength and rigidity for heavy-duty production.

Double Anchored Balls Screws -
Premium quality ball screws are double anchored and pre-tensioned, and then 100% inspected for parallelism to the axis guideways. The rotational torque of each ballscrew is inspected over the entire length of travel to guarantee a true smooth non-binding alignment to ensure maximum service life and the highest possible machining accuracy.

The VMC-1814 Mill is manufactured in our fully certified ISO 9000 production facility in Taiwan.

High Reliability FANUC Servo Motors and Drives –
The premium Fanuc control features look ahead capability for high speed machining. Highly accurate Fanuc Digital Servo motors feature the ability to tune spindle and the axis drives for perfect dynamic response for exceptional geometric accuracy. Graphic Display, Tool Life Management and a data server with a memory card (upgradeable to 256K flash card) are just a few capabilities on this powerful full-featured FANUC CNC controller.

All of this capability is backed by the dependable nationwide 2-year FANUC warranty.

Auto Shut Off –
You can set up the auto shut off mode on the control. This allows the machine to automatically shut off once your long program is finished. This capability enhances your ability to let the machine run lights out.

Spindle Brake (in case of power failure) –
The Z-axis spindle motor comes with an automatic brake in case of a power failure. This will save expensive fixtures and tools incase of sudden power failure.

Chip Wash –
The machine comes standard with a separate coolant pump for chip wash on all sides. This allows the machine to flush all the chips easily to the front of the tank keeping your maintenance simple.
