EMAG UK's VLC turning centers complete-machine workpieces of up to 1,200 mm dia. in a single set-up. They replace the vertical turret lathes previously used for components of this size. With their exemplary chip capacity these gantry-design, multi-functional production centers are ideally suited to machine large workpieces completely. Features include loading and unloading, machining and measuring — all on a single machine; complete-machining (with optional Y-axis) : integration of turning, grinding and milling technologies; 6 to 8 times the vibration dampening effect of cast iron machine bases with MINERALIT polymer granite; ideal chip flow conditions, as the tools are located below the workpiece; the hydro-static bearings of the work spindle in Z-axis guarantee outstanding component quality, and an extended tool life for soft and hard machining; and all machine assemblies with a bearing on accuracy are fluid-cooled. www.emag.de
