EMCO VERTICAL VT 260 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This CNC turning center represents a mid-range precision machining solution designed for versatile production environments. The machine features a compact swing diameter of 11.02 inches, accommodating workpieces up to 10.24 inches in turning diameter, with a maximum machining length of 7.09 inches, making it suitable for small to medium-sized components. Powered by a robust 38.88 horsepower motor, the machine delivers reliable performance across diverse cutting operations. The spindle operates at speeds reaching 5,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal rates and superior surface finishes across various workpiece materials. CNC control provides automated tool selection and positioning through an integrated turret system, eliminating manual intervention and reducing setup times. The machine incorporates high-rigidity construction with precision linear guides and roller bearings to ensure dimensional accuracy during heavy-duty machining and high-speed feedrates. Additional capabilities typically include a second spindle for continuous multi-process machining, Y-axis functionality for complex geometry work, and driven tools on the turret enabling turning, milling, drilling, and tapping operations in a single setup. The compact footprint and multitasking capabilities minimize part handling, reduce potential errors from re-clamping, and optimize throughput times. This configuration represents an ideal solution for job shops and small manufacturers seeking flexibility, precision, and efficiency in producing complex turned and milled components without requiring substantial floor space or capital investment.
