EMAG VL 7 CNC LATHE

This is a 2-axis CNC turning center featuring a 15.75-inch chuck with a 16.54-inch swing capacity, designed for precision cylindrical machining operations. The machine operates on two linear axes—the X-axis for radial (diameter) control and the Z-axis for axial (longitudinal) control—enabling fundamental turning and facing operations on symmetrical and simple parts. The 15.75-inch chuck size accommodates medium to large workpieces, making this lathe suitable for production environments requiring consistent accuracy and repeatability. With CNC control, the machine delivers precise positioning and automated tool management, typically incorporating an 8-station turret for efficient tool changes and reduced production downtime. The 16.54-inch swing diameter allows for larger workpiece diameters compared to compact models, expanding the range of machinable components. This configuration is ideal for shops performing basic turning work, including cylindrical grinding, tapers, and simple contours without requiring multi-axis complexity. The 2-axis design provides straightforward programming and operation while maintaining cost-effectiveness compared to higher-axis machines. These machines typically feature rapid movement speeds of 24 m/min or higher, spindle speeds ranging from 10 to 4,000 rpm, and positioning accuracy around 0.005mm, enabling high-precision work. Applications include automotive components, shafts, bushings, and general production work requiring reliable, repeatable results in a compact footprint suitable for job shops and dedicated production lines.
