EMAG VLC 200 GT VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC vertical machining center designed for precision turning operations with moderate workpiece capacity. The machine features a single main spindle with a 10-inch chuck diameter, capable of accommodating bar stock and cylindrical workpieces up to 4 inches in turning length. The two-axis configuration operates on the X and Z axes, with the X-axis controlling radial positioning (67 inches of travel) and the Z-axis managing axial movement along the workpiece (10 inches of travel). The machine is equipped with a 12-position tool turret, allowing flexible tool changes during production. Standard operation supports single simultaneous cutting tool engagement, with an optional capability for dual-tool simultaneous cutting, enhancing machining efficiency for complex geometries. The 2-axis setup makes this vertical machining center ideal for producing simple to moderately complex symmetrical parts such as shafts, bushings, and threaded components where traditional turning operations are primary. The substantial X-axis travel provides excellent capacity for machining longer workpieces relative to the chuck size, though the limited Z-axis travel restricts the axial length capability. Without specified horsepower and RPM ratings, this machine is suited for applications requiring moderate cutting forces and precision turning rather than heavy interrupted cuts. The turret-based tooling system enables rapid tool changes, improving productivity in multi-operation setups while maintaining the repeatability and precision inherent to CNC-controlled turning operations.
