The VLC 300 is designed for large workpieces up to 300 mm in diameter. The pick-up turning lathe makes it possible to utilize a range of machining technologies flexibly. This vertical turning machine is extremely compact and features powerful drives in its spindle and axes, ensuring adequate power at all times. Its highly flexible tooling options and powerful working spindle are supplemented by the integrated automation system with a pick-up spindle which makes the VLC 300 into a high-productivity production lathe.
Low-vibration machining is made possible by the Mineralit® polymer concrete body. This ensures long tool life and very high machining quality. The main spindle is fastened to the front of the machine base by means of a compound slide rest, allowing dynamic motion along the X-axis and Z-axis. A Y-axis in the tool turret is available as an option.
