The VLC 250 DS Vertical Turning Machine combines the advantages of vertical hard turning with those of grinding – on a single machine and in a single setup.

In use is always the process best suited to the relevant workpiece and its quality requirements – always offering the greatest economic advantage. Another advantage for the customer lies in the flexibility to be able to choose the best technology for every job: hard turning, scroll-free turning or grinding – and all on one and the same machine.

Advantages

• Vertical hard turning and finish-grinding in one setup on one machine
• Those sections of the workpiece which can be turned with process integrity are hard finish-turned and only ground (after hard pre-turning) where quality and process integrity demand
• Improved component quality and higher output rates, because the workpiece is machined in a single setup
• The grinding process only removes a little material, which means that there is little wear to the grinding wheel and it does not have to be dressed very often. This offers cycle time advantages
