Some features of the VMC are a chip-to-chip time of 1.9 seconds and a 4.5-ton cast mineral machine bed, which is said to offer dampening characteristics, thermal stability and rigidity. The machine bed also provides a motionless counterbalance for traverse speeds of more than 3,500 ipm, with acceleration as high as 2 G.
