Three functions on the smallest footprint: Pick-up position: automatic loading and unloading of the workpiece. Machining position: turning, drilling, milling, grinding. Gauging position: measuring the workpiece and processing the offsets. The cornerstone of the VLC series is a sturdy machine base made with MINERALIT® polymer concrete. This guarantees precision, an outstanding surface finish and an extended tool life when machining chucked components. VLC machines with optional drilling, Vibration damping effect of EMAG MINERALIT® polymer concrete machine bases milling or grinding spindles –...

The VLC series - complete-machining through technology integration. The work spindle and workpiece travel in interrupted cuts, turning, drilling, milling, the main axes X and Z, also optional in Y. hob cutting, broaching, and grinding. The tooling systems can be used in shuttle mode, for either serial or parallel operations, for which optional second X-axes are available. With the work spindle and workpiece positioned overhead and the tools aligned underneath, chips can fall unhindered onto the chip conveyor below. The VLC series of machines accommodates almost all metal cutting...

Heavy-duty machining with the highest precision. The overhead slide with integrated Absolute position feedback systems main spindle completes movements guarantee a high degree of precision and make machine referencing unnecessary. This is done in the X-axis by a fastreacting gantry drive unit. In the Z-axis, an additional counterbalance together with the powerful ball screw spindle drive ensures maximum travel speeds. All accuracy defining machine elements are connected to the fluid-cooling system.

Measuring is an integral part of the VLC design principle. On its way from the machining to unloading position the workpiece passes a stationary measuring probe or plug gauge located outside the machining area. Here the component is measured without the results being adversely affected by chips or dirt particles. Measuring is done with the workpiece in its original set-up. High-precision components are then returned to the machining area, to be finish-machined once the necessary tool offsets have been implemented. Large doors provide operator-friendly access to the machining area....

VLC 800 MT – the machining center among turning machines. The VLC 800 MT is just what you need The EMAG turret with up to twelve for those applications which, in addition stations is available for turning as usual. to traditional turning, also require the universal use of other technologies. The powerful milling spindle integrated in the Y/B-axis makes even difficult milling and drilling operations possible. The optional tool magazine which can be equipped parallel to machining with up to 96 magazine positions reduces retooling times and allows similar tools to be used.

The VLC 1200 - the largest pick-up machine in the world - can vertically machine workpieces of up to 1,200 mm in diameter and 2,000 kg in weight. As always with EMAG, automation is an integral part of the machine. The VLC 1200 practically loads itself. Major areas of application for this type of machine are large chucked components for construction machinery (drive technology), WTGS and industrial transmission systems. Technology integration: turning, drilling, milling, grinding, gear cutting - all on a single machine. The VLC 1200 design is a sturdy turning platform. The outstanding...

The direct driven spindle of the machine also lends a high degree of process capability to the machining of outstanding surface finishes and the adherence to tight tolerances (precision bores). To enable the user to fully utilize the VLC 1200 in a flexible workshop environment EMAG offers a tool changer with chain magazine. The tooling system is the single-station type and integrated into the B-axis. Opposite of the turning tool receptor is a milling spindle that can also be equipped with Y-axis, if required. This allows for the use of a large number of different tools.
