Vertical Turning Machines VL 3 VL 5i VL Y VL 7

Automation + turning integrated into a single machine and implemented on the smallest possible footprint. The outstanding characteristics of the VL series of machines are high productivity levels, an extremely high degree of constantly maintained precision, outstanding operational safety and ease of operation. VL stands for short travel times and great acceleration. It is ideal for small to medium batches. VL – an altogether economical solution. V V V V 2 L L L L 3 5 i Y 7

Turning + automation = VL. This system has many advantages: •• Integrated automation, low capital outlay •• Automatic workpiece changeover in the shortest possible time •• Short travel times for loading and machining, resulting in shortest possible cycle times •• High degree of machine availability •• Ideal chip flow conditions •• Very short chip-to-chip times •• Small footprint •• Integrated measuring (optional VL 5i) V V V V L L L L 3 5 i Y 7 Every VL embodies the experience gained from over 8,500 EMAG vertical turning centers in the field. Well-designed components, high standards of...

Every VL is a manufacturing cell – with workhandling integrated. Every VL is a manufacturing cell where On the VL, the guideways for the slides, loading and unloading of the workpieces the energy supply system, the turret is integrated. A circulating conveyor belt housing and the pick-up station are with carrier prisms, takes the workpieces all kept separate from the machining to the pick-up station behind the area. The vertical construction and the machining area. At the front of the VL absence of telescopic covers guarantee finish-machined components can be ideal chip flow conditions....

Quality and ease of maintenance. The ergonomic layout of the machines of the VL series is the basis for optimal working conditions. All components needed by the operator are less than 500 mm away, making it easier to operate and maintain the machine. The layout also saves time in repairing and maintaining the machine and offers a clear view as well as easy access to the ball screw, the X-axis drive and all supply systems (hydraulics, coolant, cutting fluid and central lubrication). Once the side panels have been taken off, the overhead slide and its constituent components are also fully...
