In small chucked component production, demands for precision and cost-effectiveness are on the rise. Gear wheels, planetary gears, sprockets, cam rings, pump rings, individual cams, or shaft generators must be precisely finished after hardening. Tight dimensional and geometric tolerances, stable positional relationships, and defined surface qualities are required for high-volume production.
The VL 100 GT from EMAG is designed for this task. The vertical turning and grinding center combines hard turning and grinding in a single machine and enables high-precision finishing of small chucked components up to 100 millimeters in diameter in a single setup. This reduces reclamping errors, shortens process times, and achieves the required surface quality.
