They replace the vertical turret lathes previously used for this size of component. With their exemplary chip capacity these gantry-design, multi-functional production centers are ideally suited to complete-machine large workpieces. Soft and hard machining, interrupted cuts, turning, drilling, milling, grinding, ...The advantages of the VLCLoading and unloading, machining and measuring: all on a single machine Complete-machining (with optional Y-axis) : integration of turning, grinding and milling technologies 6 to 8 times the vibration dampening effect of cast iron machine bases with MINERALIT® polymer granite Ideal chip flow conditions, as the tools are located below the workpiece The hydro-static bearings of the work spindle in Z-axis guarantee outstanding component quality and an extended tool life for soft and hard machining All machine assemblies with a bearing on accuracy are fluid-cooled Crown wheels - Ring gears - Brake drums for trucks - Brass cages - Final drive spindles - Differential housings - Belt pulleys, sheaves
