Vertical Turning Machine

EMAG offers Vertical Turning Machine, Model VT 2-4. The turning machine for vertical 4-axis shaft machining which involves large numbers of work pieces, the first choice must be the VT series of turning machines. In the machining of shafts on turning machines the focus is on the speed of the process, whereby both loading / unloading and the machining cycle need to be very fast. This optimal requirement is fulfilled with the VT 2-4 turning machines.

Four axes, short travels, powerful main spindle – these are the strengths of the VT 2-4 turning machines. The full impact can be best felt where the component batches are large. Of decisive importance in the use of these turning machines is the “two-sided” machining process, which massively reduces the machining time on the VT 2-4 turning machine. 

Flexibility is guaranteed with the use of two tool turrets with eleven stations each, all of which can be equipped with turning tools and driven tools. Automation is fully integrated on these turning machines. On the VT 2-4 turning machines it is the turret that does the loading and unloading. Whilst one gripper (in the turret) conveys a new raw-part into the turning machine, the other one removes the finish-machined component, with the whole process taking just 6 seconds.

Advantages

• Shorter cycle times through four-axis machining
• The machine can be used as a stand-alone or in a production line
• Reduced idle times through cycle time-concurrent loading and unloading
• Raw-part and finished component storage form an integral part of the machine
• Less expense for automation and peripherals
• The vertical construction of the machine and the resulting free chip flow prevent the creation of “birdsnest” chip formations
• Less operator intervention (tailstock and steady are CN-controlled, the turrets can be accessed directly)
• Short setting and resetting times owing to great machine accessibility and operator friendliness
• Less investment required in sensors, as the machine axes are direct driven and the machine’s control system is of the latest design
• The compact, vertical construction of the machine makes for a small footprint
