Benchtop CNC Vertical Machining Center Vector M-Center

The VECTOR M-Center is a compact benchtop vertical machining center designed for CNC training, prototyping, research samples, and high-precision machining of small parts. Despite its small footprint, the machine is equipped with a professional CNC controller, a spindle reaching up to 15,000 rpm, linear guideways, and ballscrews that deliver accurate positioning and smooth motion on all axes.

The M-Center is an ideal solution for training centers, technical universities, laboratories, R&D departments, and businesses that need a compact machine for producing one-off parts or developing and validating manufacturing processes.

Key Advantages for the Operator and the Facility:

• The machine has a minimal footprint and can be placed on a workbench or a dedicated tool cabinet — no need to allocate a separate production area.
• Ballscrews and linear guides provide smooth axis motion, consistent positioning accuracy, and repeatability for both training and production tasks.
• The spindle, with speeds up to 15,000 rpm, handles small cutting tools efficiently and performs precise machining on non-ferrous metals, plastics, and other engineering materials.
• VECTOR Drive control system with a 15-inch touchscreen provides intuitive programming, convenient machine operation, and supports program transfer via USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi. The platform is based on an industrial CNC controller and optimized by VECTOR engineers to ensure reliable machine performance.
• Fully enclosed work area: a protective enclosure with a transparent viewing window improves safety and allows the operator to monitor the machining process.

The VECTOR M-Center is designed for producing electronic device housings, mounting plates, brackets, instrument panels, small flanges, covers, mold models, training parts, laboratory samples, mock-ups, automation system components, robotics parts, and new product prototypes. The machine works efficiently with aluminum alloys, brass, copper, engineering plastics, caprolon, PTFE, textolite, composite and modeling materials. With proper tool selection and cutting parameters, it can also perform certain operations on structural steels.

Applications:

• Training centers: CNC operator and programmer training.
• Vocational schools and universities: lab work, coursework, and hands-on practice.
• R&D and design bureaus: prototyping, test parts, and process validation.
• Pilot and small-batch production: manufacturing small parts from non-ferrous metals and plastics.
• Laboratories and engineering centers: research work, experimental builds, and process development.
