    Vertical Lathes (VTL)
With Vertical Turning Lathes, minimum clamping is required because the sheer weight of the workpiece sets and holds it in place, preventing warpage normally caused by hard clamping.




 
 


 
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES Available with 8"/10"/12"/15"/18"/24" chuck sizes
- Easy loading and unloading of workpieces
- Spindle runout accuracy within  0.0001"
- 787ipm rapids
- Slanted bed for efficient coolant/chip washdown
- Small footprint for automation/cell manufacturing
- Optional robotic loading or unloading fixture
- Optional gantry or conveyor type workpiece loading and unloading
- Standard chip conveyor w/ coolant tank
 
Available with gang type, single turret or double turret configuration to meet various production requirements.

High speed double turret can do  individual or simultaneous turning for faster cycle times.

 
Z axis brake system is separated from the servo motor, enabling the machine to stop instantly during power interruption.
 
Large-diameter spindle is assembled in the same division that makes our grinding machine spindles ---your assurance of a spindle that works harder, lasts longer and maintains consistent accuracy even at the most extreme operating environments.

    Vertical Turning Center
CHEVALIER'S NEW VERTICAL TURNING CENTERS COMBINE HARD TURNING, MILLING, DRILLING, TAPPING & GRINDING IN A SINGLE SETUP.




This new machine features a programmable +/-100mm Y axis design for multi-tasking applications resulting in shorter cycle times, reduced material handling & consistent accuracy as the part doesn't have to go through different machines. Our biggest model can machine workpieces weighing up to 26,400lbs.
 
 


 
  • Eight hydraulic locking pins plus a clutch type tool clamping system hold the tools in place during heavy machining.
  • When in use, the turning tool holder holds a 0.5mm space between spindle taper & tool taper, eliminating load stress on ram spindle bearings.
vtc1600spindle
  • Cross-rail elevation system with dual, large diameter ballscrews locks at any position, enabling the ram to be closer to the workpiece --- great when machining very thin workpieces.
  • 240mm square ram is SCM435 forged steel and securely supported on all four slides.
  • A very rigid structure supports the table, reducing the vibration generated during heavy cutting
vtc1600frame
  • Rotary table is driven by a powerful spindle motor; opt ZF gearbox for low torque or high speed machining.
  • Extra wide, hand-scraped box ways on the Y axis for smooth movement, even load distribution.
  • Heavy ribbing at base and column
