The VCF 850 machines have a rigid, one-piece, fine-grain Meehanite bed boasting heavy ribbing to reduce vibration and deformation during heavy cutting operations. Owing to its traveling column design, the table, and therefore the workpiece itself, remains locked during machining. Cutting performance is delivered by an 18.5/22 kW, 12,000 rpm integral oil-cooled spindle (204 Nm).
VCF 850 machines offer a choice of toolchanger. A 30-position drum-type tool magazine is supplied as standard, with a 60-tool, chain-type, double-arm automatic toolchanger available as an option. Tool-to-tool changeover time is 1.5 seconds.
