Vertical Turning Machine for Chucked Components – VL 4

Better flexibility and varied manufacturing capabilities for both hard and soft machining are two of the main benefits offered by EMAG’s new VL 4 vertical turning machine design. The design of the machine also allows for the easy interlinking of several machines, allowing the line automation to be tailored to fit the customers’ needs. The better flexibility that this vertical lathe allows in the machining of a broad range of chucked components makes it a great option for many diverse manufacturing functions, in several different industries.

Vertical Lathes with a Modular Design for Efficient Production

The VL 4’s modular concept makes it all possible: the vertical turning machine can be fitted to match a range of applications. It is compact in design yet robust and features a combined automation solution with the pick-up spindle. The machine base out of the polymer concrete MINERALIT^® guarantees vibration-resistant machining, a prolonged tool life, and exceptional machining quality. The main spindle is mounted on the front compound slide and performs the dynamic movements required in X- and Z-axis with an optional Y-axis.
