Precision, process reliability and efficiency when turning large components

by Oliver Hagenlocher 6. September 2024

How can particularly large and heavy components be produced using lean production solutions? This question is becoming increasingly important, especially in the commercial vehicle sector, because price pressure in the market demands the lowest possible unit production costs. In this context, the VSC 500 and VSC 500 DUO machines from EMAG are real “game changers” for manufacturers. They load themselves and then ensure fast and precision complete-machining in a single setup or two. A conversation with Peter Gröner from the Turning Business Unit at EMAG about the enormous possibilities of this technology.
