When machining flange parts, such as differential housings, several separate machining stations are required in conventional production. The VT 200 with counter spindle option shows how modern turning machines can address these challenges through process integration.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Technical concept of the VT 200 with counter spindle<\/h3>\n<p>The VT 200 is a vertical turning machine that combines several machining operations in one machine by integrating a counter spindle. The machine concept is based on a two-spindle configuration with lower and upper spindles.<\/p>\n<h3>Design and kinematics<\/h3>\n<p>The lathe works with a defined flow direction that runs either from right to left or vice versa. The machining processes are organized according to a pairing principle: The right-hand turret takes over machining on the upper spindle, while the left-hand turret operates the lower spindle. If the cycle time is unbalanced, it is also possible for both turrets to machine on the same spindle at the same time. This shortens the overall machining time. This division corresponds functionally to a two-part machining chain within a single machine.<\/p>\n<p>The turrets are designed as HP (High-Performance) turrets and offer the stability and performance required for demanding machining operations. The lathe can also be equipped with Y-axes on one or both sides.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3561\" style=\"width: 1180px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3561\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emag.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Arbeitsraum-der-VT-200-mit-Gegenspindel_1170x781px.jpg\" alt=\"Work area of the VT 200 with two turrets and counter spindle for parallel machining and short cycle times.\" width=\"1170\" height=\"781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emag.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Arbeitsraum-der-VT-200-mit-Gegenspindel_1170x781px.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.emag.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Arbeitsraum-der-VT-200-mit-Gegenspindel_1170x781px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.emag.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Arbeitsraum-der-VT-200-mit-Gegenspindel_1170x781px-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.emag.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Arbeitsraum-der-VT-200-mit-Gegenspindel_1170x781px-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.emag.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Arbeitsraum-der-VT-200-mit-Gegenspindel_1170x781px-585x391.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.emag.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Arbeitsraum-der-VT-200-mit-Gegenspindel_1170x781px-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3561\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View into the work area of the VT 200: Two opposing turrets enable simultaneous machining on both spindles.
