Built to order. Ask for lead time.

Overview

Ø2,500 mm ram-type vertical turning on a Ø2,000 mm table

The VT-2000 is a ram-type vertical turning center with a Ø2,000 mm table that cuts up to Ø2,500 mm, in a long type with 2,100 mm of cutting length and a short type with 1,100 mm. It is built on an integrated bed with a double-pinion C axis and a 250 mm square ram, and runs on a FANUC 31i-B control with Siemens 840D sl optional. The table runs 1 to 240 rpm in two steps on a 75 / 60 kW motor with 49,863 Nm, and carries 15,000 kgf. The milling version adds a 26 / 22 kW BT-50 spindle to 3,000 rpm and C-axis indexing to 0.001 degree.

Features

01Ø2,000 mm table, two speed rangesThe table runs 1 to 55 rpm in low range and 56 to 240 rpm in high, with programmable gear change. Max torque is 49,863 Nm with the FANUC drive and 58,506 Nm with Siemens.
02Long or short typeThe long type moves the cross rail 1,100 mm for 2,100 mm of cutting length; the short type moves it 600 mm for 1,100 mm. The cross rail runs on LM guides and locks with a 4-point hydraulic brake.
03Double-pinion C axisThe C axis is driven by a double pinion as standard, with a single pinion optional. The single-pinion version is rated for 5,000 kgf on the table instead of 15,000 kgf.
04□250 mm milling ramThe milling version runs a 26 / 22 kW BT-50 spindle to 3,000 rpm through 1,000 mm of ram travel, with C-axis indexing to 0.001 degree.
05BT-50 tooling, curvic clampingAll turning tools clamp on curvic couplings with four pull studs. The ATC takes 40 mm square turning tools and BT-50 tooling, up to Ø350 mm with the adjacent pockets empty.
