Built to order. Ask for lead time.
Overview
Ø1,150 mm vertical turning on a 40 in chuck
The VT-1150+ is a 40 in chuck vertical turning center (32 or 50 in optional) that cuts up to Ø1,150 mm in diameter and 950 mm in length. It is built for heavy cutting of large valves, flanges and pistons, on hand-scraped box ways on all axes with Hwacheon's air floating system. The Ø520 mm flat-nose spindle has a built-in gearbox and a 55 / 45 kW motor, and runs 630 rpm with the 40 in chuck, 800 rpm with 32 in and 500 rpm with 50 in. MC versions carry a 24-station turret with live tools and a C axis, and MG versions add a 16-tool Capto C6 or C8 magazine.

Features
- 01Box ways with air floatingEvery axis runs on hand-scraped box ways. Hwacheon's air floating system limits vibration and the displacement that friction heat can cause.
- 02Built-in gear spindle, 55 kWThe Ø520 mm flat-nose spindle has a built-in high-torque gear and a 55 / 45 kW motor. Top speed is 630 rpm with the 40 in chuck, 800 rpm with 32 in and 500 rpm with 50 in.
- 0324-station turnmill turretMC versions carry a 24-station turret with 7.5 / 5.5 kW live tools to 3,000 rpm, drilling and end milling to Ø32 mm and tapping to M24, or M30 with the 11 / 7.5 kW option.
- 0416-tool Capto magazine optionMG versions take a 16-tool magazine with Capto C6 (12 turret stations, tools to 400 mm and 7 kgf) or Capto C8 (10 stations, tools to 500 mm and 10 kgf).
- 05Chip flushing on both sidesA wide, sloped slide cover and coolant flushing at each side of the table move chips out of the cutting zone.
- 06Coolant and way oil kept apartThe cutting area is sealed from the feed area, so way lube drains separately and does not mix with coolant. L-HTLD tool load monitoring is standard.
