CNC Lathe for High-Productivity Vertical Turning of Flange-Type Workpieces

What are the advantages for the user when the main spindle of a vertical CNC lathe acts like a movable pick-up arm that collects the raw-part and unloads it again once it has been machined, carrying out all required travels, even those that have to be made during the machining process? The answer is obvious: an enormous amount of time is saved with practically every application as a number of processes are combined in one compact sequence. Of great importance for this is the heart of the CNC lathe: the multifunctional overhead slide with the pick-up spindle. This slide contains the quill that incorporates the integral workspindle and carries out all movements.

Extreme rigidity, high rapid traverse speeds and short strokes, together with the integral coolant system, guarantee precision, high productivity levels and short idle times for the VSC 250 production machine.
