PIETRO CARNAGHI VTL AC52 T/TM VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC turning center features a **main spindle maximum turning diameter and swing of 204.720 inches**, accommodating large workpieces with a maximum turning length of 157.480 inches. The main spindle chuck diameter is also 157.480 inches, supporting substantial parts. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 95 RPM, powered by an 80 HP motor designed for heavy-duty turning applications. It supports **a single simultaneous cutting tool** with a total of 3 axes—X, Y (unspecified travel), and Z—with the X-axis travel matching the swing at 204.720 inches and Z-axis travel at 49.210 inches, with an option for extended travel up to 59.060 inches. The machine delivers rapid traverse and maximum feed rates of 590 inches per minute on both the X and Z axes, affording efficient material removal and cycle times. It includes a rotary tool driven by a 41 HP motor capable of 3,000 RPM, adding milling or drilling capabilities to the turning operation. The configuration emphasizes rigidity and precision, leveraging direct-drive motors for the axes to minimize backlash and enhance position control. Ideal for machining very large diameter parts, this turning center balances robust power, large capacity, and precision control, suitable for heavy-duty industrial turning tasks requiring maximum swing and length. Its combination of high torque at low RPM spindle and live tooling capacity enhances its versatility in machining complex geometries with high accuracy.
