Vertical Lathe For Serial Producers & Universal Machinists

The new vertical lathe CTV 160 combines as well the interests of serial producers in cost-per-unit productivity and the space requirement of the workshop facility as well as the ones of a universal machinist, who takes other aspects such as ease of operation, programming and tooling info in consideration. With the option of moving the Y-axis out of the working area all motion axes are located on the side of the workpiece spindle. This upward displacement has made it possible to expand the travel path of the Y-axis to ±90 mm. In combination with the exceedingly long Z-axis, it is now possible to process a wide range of shorter and longer workpieces of between 20 and 180 mm and with diameters of 160 mm not only with high precision but also with no need for time-consuming retooling. The CTV 160 has an extremely compact design, with a space requirement of only 4.7 m². It has an extremely generous work area access measuring 750 mm and is equipped with a large viewing panel. The chip conveyor can be placed either to the side or in the rear area of the. This is of particular interest to serial producers because of the additional possibility of installing two identical CTV 160 machines directly beside each other and using one workpiece magazine with a turning station thus combining them into one manufacturing system for complete machining in the area of mass production. Being of interest to mass producers it is still worth pointing out the use of the Sinumerik 840D Solutionline from Siemens as a serial-specific CNC control and the option of using a direct drive with linear standards in the area of the long X-axis to accommodate an even higher degree of dynamics and top demands on precision.
