SCHERER FEINBAU VDZ 100DS CNC LATHE

The 2-Axis CNC Lathe is a precision turning center designed for high-volume production of cylindrical and symmetrical components. Operating on dual linear axes—the X-axis controlling radial diameter movements and the Z-axis managing longitudinal feed along the workpiece—this machine delivers reliable performance across a broad range of turning applications. Equipped with a 6.89-inch chuck and capable of turning diameters up to 6.3 inches, this lathe accommodates mid-sized workpieces with excellent rigidity and repeatability. The spindle reaches a maximum speed of 7,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal across various hardnesses and materials. With 30.8 horsepower driving the spindle motor, the machine provides substantial cutting force necessary for sustained production runs. The CNC control system utilizes ISO code programming with keyboard input and RS232 communication capability, incorporating power-off protection and comprehensive self-diagnosis functionality. Servo motors coupled with precision ball screws drive both X and Z axes, ensuring accurate positioning and consistent repeat accuracy essential for tight tolerances. This machine features selectable tool configurations including four-station, six-station, vertical, and horizontal tool rest arrangements, accommodating diverse cutting strategies and tool geometries. The precision end-tooth plate positioning system maintains high repeatability for production efficiency. Rapid traverse capabilities minimize non-cutting cycle time, while the robust flat-bed construction provides thermal stability for dimensional consistency. Ideal for cell manufacturing environments, this 2-axis turning center balances precision, power, and versatility for small-to-medium component production requiring consistent quality and rapid turnaround.
