EMAG VSC 500 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The EMAG VSC 500 is a robust vertical turning machine engineered for heavy-duty machining of large chucked components. Featuring a maximum turning diameter of 17.3 inches with a 15.8-inch standard chuck (expandable to 19.7 inches), this machine delivers exceptional versatility for complex part production. The main spindle operates at 3,400 RPM with 25 HP output and 750 Nm maximum torque, providing substantial cutting force for demanding applications. The machine accommodates 12 tool positions on its motorized turret, with optional rotary tools operating at 6,000 RPM to enable simultaneous turning, drilling, milling, and boring operations in a single setup. The two-axis configuration (X and Z) provides 39.4-inch X-axis travel and 15.8-inch Z-axis travel, supporting workpiece lengths up to 8 inches. With a rapid traverse rate of 1,771 ipm and maximum feed rate of 2,473 ipm, the machine optimizes cycle times while maintaining precision. The VSC 500 incorporates a polymer concrete machine base for superior vibration damping and thermal stability, with all accuracy-defining assemblies fluid-cooled to ensure consistent performance. The inverted work spindle design with tools positioned below the workpiece creates ideal chip flow conditions, minimizing maintenance requirements. Weighing 13,500 kg and requiring 400V, 50Hz electrical supply at 45 kW installed power, this production lathe represents an efficient solution for complete-machining operations on heavy workpieces requiring multiple machining processes.
