VTC Shaft Machining

The production tool for the machining of challenging shaft-type components, the VTC 315 DS turns and grinds vertically. Whether turning, drilling, milling, grinding, synchronous support grinding or combination turning + grinding – the VTC caters for all the variations of process integration in the machining of shaft-type components.

Advantages

All hard machining processes on a single machine: CBN grinding, hard turning and scroll-free turning
Integrated loading and unloading: the EMAG turret reduces the cost for automation and peripherals. Raw-part and finished component storage are integrated into the machine
Tailstock and steadies are CNC controlled. Set-up and resetting times are reduced
Shafts are hard complete-machined, eliminating reclamping errors
The vertical construction of the machine provides ideal chip flow conditions and prevents the build-up of chip clusters
The compact, vertical construction also makes for a small footprint
The machine can be accessed and operated with ease, this ensures that set-up and resetting times are short
