Modular vertical lathe features 12 driven tools

At IMTS 2016. EMAG will showcase the VL 4, a modular, small-footprint vertical lathe with integrated automation designed for maximum production.

A pickup spindle moves in the X and Z axes with 12 driven tools on a turret to cut and index parts up to 200 mm. The pass-through rotary conveyor keeps blanks incoming and machined parts outgoing. These machines also can be equipped with a Y axis for machining more complex geometries.

The EMAG booth will also feature a blisk (bladed disk) display demonstrating precision electrochemical machining (PECM) technology now offered to the aerospace, pump, and power generation markets.
