CNC lathe for the high-productivity machining of chucked components

CNC lathe VSC 250: vertical turning + automation + measuring

What are the advantages for the user when the mainspindle of a vertical CNC lathe acts like a movable pick-up arm that collects the raw-part and unloads it again once it has been machined, carrying out all required travels, even those that have to be made during the machining process? The answer is obvious: you are saving an enormous amount of time with practically every application, as a number of processes are combined in one compact sequence. Of great importance for this is the heart of the CNC lathe: the multifunctional overhead slide with pick-up spindle. This slide contains the quill that incorporates the integral workspindle and carries out all movements. Extreme rigidity, high rapid traverse speeds and short strokes – together with the integral coolant system – guarantee precision, high productivity levels and short idle times for the CNC lathe VSC 250.

CNC lathe VSC 250 from EMAG, with automation, measuring station and vertical turning technology

Machining + automation + measuring:
The CNC lathe VSC 250 is configured to suit individual manufacturing requirements. The vertical design of the CNC lathe VSC 250 makes for shortest possible travels between pick-up station and machining area. This reduces idle times to a minimum. The machine base in MINERALIT ® and the double-wall construction ensure best possible damping and outstanding heat stabilisation. An extensive selection of technology modules ensures that the CNC lathe can be configured to suit individual, customer-specific production requirements. The availability of diverse automation components also allows for integration of the machine into manufacturing systems.

Advantages

Every machine is a production cell that utilizes its pick-up spindle to load itself
Short machining travel times and equally short workhandling times
Multifunctional production tool: turning, drilling, milling, grinding and other processes
The workpiece travels, while the tooling systems remain stationary
Ideal chip flow conditions, due to the tools being located below the workpiece
The work spindle with hydro-static guideway in Z-axis (optional) ensures outstanding component quality and a high tool life for soft and hard machining operations
All accuracy defining machine assemblies are fluid-cooled
Safe, wear resistant, maintenance-free machining area envelope
Dry machining is easy with the VSC, because the work spindle and tools are ideally positioned for the purpose
