Emag VL 4

What the maker publishes about the current Emag VL 4

In EMAG's modular VL series, the VL 4 is a vertical turning center for chucked work as large as 8 in in diameter and 8 in in length, held in a chuck of up to 10 in, with an 11 in swing. Its main spindle, carried on a compound slide at the front, moves in X and Z and collects raw parts from the integrated store, then returns them finished, without a separate loader. X covers 30 in and Z 16.5 in. At 40 % and 100 % duty the spindle is rated 33.5 and 24 hp, with 206.5 and 149 ft-lb of torque, and its speed limit is 4,500 rpm. A 12-post turret, which also takes driven tools, does the cutting. Two items on the page are options: a Y axis in the turret, with ± 1 in of travel, and a measuring station outside the cutting zone, next to the loading point, where parts are gauged as they go in and out. The machine base is MINERALIT polymer concrete.
