VTC Shaft Machining

Shaft machining turned on its head

These machines allow for the complete-machining of shafts and shaft-type workpieces on a single machine, including automation. High drive power, high speeds and sturdy turrets make the machines of the VTC series high-yield turning centers for 4-axis machining, including loading and unloading.

The VTC 250 L is a slim-design vertical shaft machining center. The machine is specially designed to serve as a standalone machine or as part of a production line based on the chaku-chaku principle. Like all VTC machines, the VTC 250 L also incorporates integral automation which means the machine always does what it does best: PRODUCE. Regardless of whether its operator is at the machine, taking a well deserved break or there is a shift change, the machine will produce. The vertical design of the machine offers a footprint that is up to 50% less than that of a horizontal turning machine.

Advantages

  • Used as standalone or part of a production cell based on the chaku-chaku principle
  • Integrated workhandling: The EMAG turret reduces the cost of automation equipment and peripherals
  • Raw-part and finished component storage areas form an integral part of the machine
  • Tailstock and steadies are CNC-controlled, reducing setting and resetting times
  • The vertical design of the machine ensures the flow of chips and prevents the build-up of chip clusters
  • The compact vertical design makes for a smaller footprint
  • Great accessibility and operator friendliness ensure short setting and resetting times
  • Direct-driven machine axes and modern control systems reduce the need for sensors
