WMW VL 60 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The WMW VL 60 is a precision CNC vertical machining center designed for heavy-duty turning operations. This machine features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 65.000 inches and a maximum turning length of 69.000 inches, accommodating substantial workpieces with a 60.000-inch chuck diameter. The spindle delivers 80 horsepower at variable speeds up to 250 RPM, providing robust torque for demanding cutting applications. The machine operates on a two-axis configuration with 59.000 inches of X-axis travel and 47.000 inches of Z-axis travel, enabling flexible positioning for complex machining sequences. The primary tool carrier utilizes an automatic tool changer (ATC) with turning and rotary tooling capabilities, allowing one simultaneous cutting tool engagement for optimized chip control and surface finish. The rigid construction and precision engineering make the VL 60 ideal for batch production environments requiring consistency across multiple workpieces. Its substantial spindle swing of 65.000 inches and generous work envelope facilitate machining of large, irregularly shaped components common in aerospace, industrial equipment, and heavy machinery manufacturing. The combination of powerful spindle performance, extended axis travels, and automated tool management positions the WMW VL 60 as a capable solution for shops requiring reliable, high-capacity vertical turning capabilities with precision and repeatability.
