WEILER PRIMUS VC HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The WEILER PRIMUS VC is a high-precision horizontal center lathe engineered for demanding turning applications. It features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 6.220" (158 mm) and a maximum turning length of 19.690" (500 mm), providing ample capacity for a wide range of workpieces. The main spindle chuck diameter measures 6.300" (160 mm), supporting secure workholding, while the maximum swing over the bed reaches 110.000" (280 mm), accommodating larger components. The machine is equipped with a single main spindle capable of speeds up to 4,000 rpm, with an optional maximum of 5,000 rpm for enhanced performance, and delivers 5.4 HP (4 kW) for robust cutting power. The primary tool carrier is a slide, allowing for precise tool positioning, and the machine supports one simultaneous cutting tool. Designed with two controlled axes, the WEILER PRIMUS VC offers X-axis travel of 5.900" (150 mm) and Z-axis travel of 20.000" (500 mm), ensuring accurate and repeatable machining operations. The spindle bore is 40 mm, and the center height is 140 mm, contributing to its versatility in handling various workpiece geometries. The lathe is built for reliability, precision, and ease of operation, making it suitable for toolmaking, prototyping, and small-batch production environments.
