Vertical Multi-Spindle Machines VSC 250 / 400 DUO VSC 160 / 250 TWIN VSC 200 TRIO

The powerful and compact multispindle, vertical pick-up turning machines from EMAG are predominantly used in medium and large batch production of precise components and are known for their high output rates.

Productivity – the ultimate benchmark. For identical or different machining cycles •• two separate machining areas •• two independently programmable overhead slides •• two independently programmable disc-type turrets •• to accommodate sequential operations (OP 10 + OP 20) For the simultaneous machining of three •• a single machining area with two •• a single machining area with three work spindles work spindles two workpieces with identical three workpieces with identical operational sequences •• the machining operations for work- operational sequence •• the machining operations for piece...

The DUO two-spindle machines are a very economical solution for the machining of larger batches for small and medium-size components. The DUO has the smallest footprint of the machines for the machining of components in first and second operation. The DUO design offers two separate machining areas with independently programmable overhead slides. Each machining area also features an independently programmable disc-type turret in the front wall.

Both turrets accommodate not only stationary tools but also driven drilling and milling tools. This allows for either identical or different operations to be VSC 250 DUO: Separate, sturdy machine bases made of polymer concrete MINERALIT®. The two overhead slides are independently programmable carried out in the two work spindles: •• After the first set of operations have been carried out on the workpiece, using the first spindle, the back of the component is machined in the second one; or the second spindle could be used to finish-machine the workpiece in a second setup. •• The alternative...

TWIN-type VSCs are used to simultaneously machine large batches of workpiece pairs that have identical operating cycles on a minimum footprint. This also applies to components when the back side has to be machined too - this process is done on a second VSC TWIN linked to the first by a turnover station.

The overhead slides are separate entities. Both slides and their spindles feature separate X- and Z-axis drives and separate measuring systems with linear scales in all axes. Measuring two workpieces simultaneously can be a time saving measure. However, workpiece diameter and length are measured in each spindle individually. (Shown with protective guard between probe and machining area open) This way the TWIN ensures that workpiece diameter and length can be corrected for each spindle individually – this is a requirement for achieving the kind of precision demanded by today’s production...

The VSC 200 TRIO is the most productive and economical solution when large batches of workpieces have to be machined on the smallest possible footprint. Two-track loading reduces loading times considerably. Three vertical spindles collect the workpieces from conveyor belt 1 and loads them - after the machining cycle has been completed - on belt 2 for removal. The VSC 200 TRIO Turning Center is a multi-spindle machine that is easy to upgrade with future developments in metal-cutting technologies. Implementing technological improvements is easy. The VSC 200 TRIO is a stand-alone solution, but...

The tooling systems – one for each of Measuring with three probes the three work spindles – accommodate eight tools each and are embedded in the machine base. A direct servo drive ensures that individual tool stations index at great speed. On the VSC 200 TRIO the control system carries out all tool offsets separately. This machine also features the direct position feedback systems that are required to achieve μ-range precision.

MINERALIT® polymer concrete – the material that makes production dreams come true. All vertical pick-up turning machines of the VL, VSC and VLC series have a MINERALIT® polymer concrete machine base, MINERALIT® damping properties are 8 times better than cast iron. Vibration damping effect on EMAG machine bases made of MINERALIT® polymer concrete The advantages are: •• Exceptional vibration damping effects, which lead to extended tool life and fantastic surface finishes •• MINERALIT® polymer concrete is thermally stable which ensures constant production results In comparison to: Vibration...

The closed- loop machine design has an extremely sturdy, U-shaped base which is a requirement for short, symmetrical, closed-loop force distribution and, consequently, for a high degree of static and dynamic rigidity. The thin oil film has an excellent damping effect -which is a requirement for a great surface finish and extended tool life, even where interrupted cuts are applied Constant temperature: A requirement for constant quality. The fluid- cooled spindle motors, turrets, electrical cabinet and machine base, are combined with the thermo-symmetrical machine design, which will...

Task orientated material handling. Simple, flexible workpiece handling: On all VSC series machines, as well as the two spindle machines loading and unloading can be done from either the right or the left. Another advantage is reconigzed during the turning of the workpiece for the second operation work: The turning takes place outside the machining area and therefore is easy to access and monitor. Depending on the machine The machine can be integrated and freely positioned in production lines, saving space and reducing linkup costs specifications, during the component changeover the...

Just one example of many: two raw-parts are collected simultaneously from the workpiece magazine, ... … deposited on the conveyor belt and transported to the pick-up position of the two spindles on the VSC 160 TWIN Two VSC 160 TWINs, linked by a workpiece turn-over station – an example of a highly efficient piece of production equipment. Four spindles machine the front and rear of the workpiece. The result: large batch production at lowest possible manufacturing cost Twin-track loading of a VSC 200 TRIO
