Vertical lathes/turning centers VL45/VL55

Product Features

Easy loading/unloading for large, thin, heavy, and irregular-shaped workpieces;
Workpiece self-weight ensures tight fit with fixtures, enabling high-precision and stable machining with short clamping time;
Eliminates oval machining caused by self-weight inertia during horizontal lathe clamping, achieving near-perfect roundness accuracy;
Stable machining of irregular workpieces that are difficult to clamp, with simplified fixture structure and low manufacturing cost;
Near-square high-rigidity design minimizes thermal displacement and vibration. Increased chip removal angle with stainless steel plates for smoother chip evacuation and prevention of bed thermal deformation;
3D assembly line conforms to ergonomics, facilitating workpiece handling;
Occupies only half the space of a horizontal lathe;
Multi-functional configuration, optimized operation, and minimal investment cost.
