Rebuild for VL 3, VL 5, and VL 5i: How Machine Precision is restored in a predictable manner

by Oliver Hagenlocher

A rebuild mechanically restores a proven VL machine to reliable production-ready condition. Instead of accepting declining precision, increasing downtime risks, or diminishing performance, the machine undergoes a targeted overhaul. For operators of the VL 3, VL 5, and VL 5i, this provides a predictable alternative to purchasing new equipment. 

In batch production in particular, it’s not just machine availability that counts. What matters most is that the system produces with consistent precision, maintains stable cycle times, and avoids unplanned downtime. With a professional rebuild,  key mechanical assemblies are replaced or overhauled, restoring the machine to original precision  and continued to use productively.

Shaft Manufacturing is Tough – But EMAG’s VT 4 Makes It Easier

by Brittny Duquesnel

Whether you’re making transmission shafts, rotor shafts or even gun barrels, the challenges are consistent: high volumes, high precision, limited space and fewer people to get the job done. It can be a lot.
We caught up with David Fitzgerald, EMAG’s Regional Sales Manager, to talk about how the VT 4 vertical turning center is helping manufacturers check all the right boxes.

Sustainability meets efficiency: EMAG’s retrofit approach to machine modernization

by Oliver Hagenlocher

Imagine your old machine tool suddenly being able to do more than ever before – and with less energy consumption. What sounds like a dream has become reality with EMAG’s retrofit solutions. In this interview, Markus Heidel, Head of the Retrofit Business Unit at EMAG, explains how used machines can be turned into real speedsters and why this concept will shape the future of mechanical engineering.

How does it work

How does… a turret actually work? Five questions – Five answers

by Oliver Hagenlocher

Actually, the turret inside a machine tool bears little resemblance to the barrel of a firearm in purely visual terms. So where does this name come from? We explain this in the following “How it works” blog. The same applies to the questions of how the whole thing works in detail and who invented it. Incidentally, the latter has a lot to do with the history of EMAG.
