EMCO MAIER VT 250 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The EMCO MAIER VT 250 Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance CNC vertical lathe designed for heavy-duty machining of short, large-diameter workpieces. It features a robust main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 7.870" and a turning length of 5.900", supporting a chuck diameter of 6.000" and a maximum swing of 10.200". The spindle delivers up to 4,000 RPM and 38 HP, enabling efficient turning, drilling, and threading operations with high torque for demanding applications. The machine is equipped with a 12-station VDI40 tool turret, each station capable of holding driven tools with up to 11 HP, allowing for versatile machining capabilities. Only one tool can cut simultaneously, ensuring precision and stability. The VT 250 operates on two axes (X and Z), with X-axis travel of 20.870" and Z-axis travel of 12.200", providing ample workspace for complex parts. Maximum feed and rapid traverse rates reach 2,358 ipm, significantly reducing cycle times. The machine incorporates oversized roller guides for exceptional stability under high loads and an integrated self-loading pick-up system for automated part handling, minimizing operator intervention and programming complexity. Standard features include a coolant device and chip conveyor for optimal chip removal. The VT 250 is controlled by the Siemens Sinumerik 828D, offering user-friendly programming and operation. Its compact footprint and robust construction make it ideal for shops seeking efficient, high-precision vertical turning with minimal floor space requirements.
