EMAG VSC 500 CM CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC turning center designed for precision metalworking operations with substantial workpiece capacity. The machine features a 19.68-inch chuck size, enabling secure work holding of large diameter components, while accommodating a maximum turning diameter of 13.38 inches. The 2-axis configuration provides longitudinal (Z-axis) and cross-slide (X-axis) motion, allowing for efficient turning, facing, and grooving operations on cylindrical and disc-shaped workpieces. The CNC control system enables programmable tool paths and automated spindle speed adjustments for consistent part quality and repeatability across production runs. This class of turning center typically incorporates a robust casting bed structure with hardened guideways to minimize vibration and ensure dimensional accuracy during heavy-duty cutting operations. The machine is well-suited for manufacturing shafts, flanges, discs, and custom turned components in automotive, industrial, and mechanical sectors. With its substantial chuck capacity and precision CNC architecture, this turning center balances production speed with accuracy, making it ideal for both prototype development and high-volume manufacturing. The 2-axis design keeps tooling and programming complexity manageable while delivering the capability for complex part geometry. Standard features commonly include automatic tool changers, coolant systems for chip evacuation and thermal management, and spindle speeds optimized for various material types and cutting conditions.
