Built to order. Ask for lead time.
Overview
Ø950 mm vertical turning on a 24 in chuck
The VT-950+ is a 24 in chuck vertical turning center (32 in optional) that cuts up to Ø950 mm in diameter and 850 mm in length. It is built for heavy cutting of large parts such as valves, flanges and pistons, on hand-scraped box ways on all axes with Hwacheon's air floating system. The Ø380 mm flat-nose spindle runs 1,125 rpm on a 30 / 22 kW motor (45 / 37 kW optional) with a low range for 2,863.6 Nm, and the 12-station turret indexes in 0.18 s. MG versions add a 16-tool Capto C6 magazine, and MC versions add 7.5 kW live tools and a C axis.

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.
- 02Two-range spindle, 2,863.6 NmThe standard spindle switches to a low range up to 375 rpm by electric conversion and delivers 2,863.6 Nm (30 min). Top speed is 1,125 rpm with a 24 in chuck, 1,500 rpm with the high-speed option and 800 rpm with a 32 in chuck.
- 03Turnmill option with C axisMC versions add 7.5 / 5.5 kW live tools (11 / 7.5 kW optional) to 3,000 rpm, drilling and end milling to Ø32 mm and tapping to M24, with C-axis indexing in 0.0001 degree steps.
- 0416-tool Capto C6 magazine optionMG versions pair a 10-station turret with a 16-tool Capto C6 magazine for tools up to 400 mm long and 7 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.
