Twin-Spindle Vertical Machining Center
The JUPITER VMT-430 is a high-performance vertical machining twin designed to deliver unmatched volumetric accuracy and exceptional value across precision-critical industries including aerospace, medical, and mold & die applications.
Engineered with best-in-class build quality, the VMT-430 features dual Big Plus #40 taper spindles running at 12,000 RPM and delivering 17.4 HP of cutting power. Jupiter guarantees circularity within 0.008mm (.0003″) or less in all three planes—thanks to high-grade components, fine-tuned assembly, and precision ballbar testing on every machine.
With rapid traverse rates of 1,417 IPM on all axes and a robust 24×2 side-mount automatic tool changer, the VMT-430 is built for speed, accuracy, and flexibility. Its compact footprint (75.6” x 122” x 108”) and large working envelope (X/Y/Z: 18.9” / 17.1” / 17.7”) make it ideal for high-output environments where precision cannot be compromised.
➢ The WLMD process eliminates the safety hazards of powder deposition methods
➢ Reduces material costs as parts are printed to a “near net finish” (within .040”)
eliminating removal of excess material, and reducing Cycle Time, labor, and
power consumption costs.
➢ Eliminates costs of Work Holding fixtures & reduces Set Up time.
➢ A part can be made using two different metals, i.e. mild steel as a core metal
while the outside is finished with titanium using the “Twin Wire” function.
➢ WLMD parts have fewer voids – 99.9998% denser than forgings or castings.
➢ Enables parts to be made with internal passageways for gas or liquid flow.
➢ Allows prototype parts to be made in hours rather than days or weeks.
➢ No billet needed; all parts can be printed from wire, eliminating sawing and
reducing required storage.

Each axis is driven by high precision C2 class ballscrews. All ballscrews are centered between the guide ways. Linear axes have 4/4/6 trucks for maximum rigidity. Ballscrews are pretensioned and supported at each end with angular contact thrust bearings. All axes are connected directly to digital servo drive motors for immediate response and accuracy.
