Victor's Vturn multi-tasking CNC lathe

The Vturn CNC lathe has twin spindles and is equipped with a swivel tool spindle mounted on a 2nd axis travelling carriage, allowing for milling operations at an arbitrary angle. The Vturn X200's twin arm ATC performs quick and reliable tool changeovers from a 40 tool magazine included with HSK-T63 tooling as standard, while Kennametal KM-63UT tooling is an available option. The X200's elimination of the troublesome vibrations present in conventional belt or gear drives results in consistent, high-accuracy machining. Spindle synchronisation is standard, for quick part changeover at spindle speeds of 2,500 rpm and the lathe's independently controlled twin spindles substantially increases operational versatility, while doubling the machine's output potential. A high-quality angular encoder is included as standard for C-axis milling applications. The Vturn-X200's swivel tool spindle (B-axis) with built-in 22 kW (30 hp)/12,000 rpm spindle, uses a high-quality roller gear mechanism, rather than worm gear, helping to minimise backlash and guaranteeing high-accuracy at arbitrary angles. The CNC lathe is available with an optional lower turret, giving similar turning features to that of a conventional lathe, while also reducing machine idle time, through an upper tool spindle tool changeover routine. The lathe's vital statistics are a maximum turning length of 1,000 mm (between centres 1,123 mm) and maximum diameter of 540 mm. Travels are 600, 1,100 and 160 mm in X, Y and Z with respective feeds of 36, 36 and 18 mm/min. The machine has a Fanuc 31i controller.
