Where large, heavy workpieces have to be machined, the manual loading of horizontal lathes is very time-consuming and can also be very costly if loading gantries are used.
The advantages of the VSC 500 vertical lathe become particularly obvious in the machining of large workpieces, especially when such components not only have to be turned, but also drilled/bored, countersunk, reamed and threads, milled, with keyways or other features added. For such requirements the VSC 500 production machine offers complete-machining in a single setup.
Complete machine couplings with a nominal diameter (pipe size) of 6 5/8” – 13 3/8” on the VSC 500 vertical pick-up turning machine.
Precision Coupling Production – Machining of Couplings and Tool Joints
With the VSC 500 turning machine, it is possible to cut all types of threads - including API and GOST standards, which are critical in the oilfield industry. To achieve the highest quality, our VSC turning machine are all designed with a robust machine base made of MINERALIT® polymer concrete.
Flexible Workpiece Flow Reduces Footprint and Costs-
The pick-up spindle ensures that the turning machines of the VSC series load themselves. Whether the workpiece is loaded or unloaded from the left or the right, the direction of the workpiece flow – and thus the position of the turning machines in the production line – is customizable. Advantages: the footprint is smaller and link-up costs are considerably lower. Integration into manufacturing systems is guaranteed by the availability of a variety of automation components.
