DORRIES VCE 2000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Dorries VCE 2000 Vertical Machining Center is a robust CNC vertical turret lathe optimized for large-scale turning operations. It features a maximum main spindle turning diameter and swing of 70.870 inches, with a turning length capacity of 49.210 inches. The main spindle uses a 63-inch diameter chuck and runs at up to 400 RPM, powered by an 80 HP motor, delivering substantial torque for heavy-duty machining. The machine supports up to 200 turning tools and 200 rotary tools, with a rotary tool spindle powered by 50 HP delivering speeds up to 3,000 RPM. It operates on a 3-axis system with X and Y travel of 394 mm each, both capable of rapid traverse speeds of 708 inches per minute, and a Z-axis travel of 25.190 inches (expandable to 84.600 inches), with a maximum feed rate of 394 inches per minute. The secondary mill/drill function offers versatile on-center and off-center capabilities with C and Y axis control options, enabling multifunctional machining tasks within the same setup. The machine is designed for precise and efficient material removal with a single simultaneous cutting tool and integrates advanced control for complex vertical machining tasks. This combination of large capacity, high power, and versatile tooling makes the Dorries VCE 2000 suitable for demanding industrial applications such as heavy component manufacturing and large-batch production.
