EMAG VL vertical turning machines with pick-up automation for chucked parts
Anyone looking to buy an EMAG VL vertical turning machine is usually searching for a compact CNC lathe for automated chucked-part machining. The VL series combines a vertical machine layout with integrated pick-up automation, short travel distances and a modular concept for medium and large batch sizes.
The work spindle does more than just machine the part. It picks up the raw part from the integrated storage unit, moves it into the working area and sets the finished part back down. A MINERALIT® machine base, vertical chip fall and short non-productive times support process stability and output.
Choosing between the EMAG VL 2, VL 4, VL 6 and VL 8 by workpiece size
- EMAG VL 2 – for chucked parts up to 100 mm in diameter and 150 mm in length, with a chuck of up to 160 mm
- EMAG VL 4 – for workpieces up to 200 mm in diameter and 200 mm in length, with a chuck of up to 260 mm
- EMAG VL 6 – for larger and heavier components up to 300 mm in diameter and 250 mm in length
- EMAG VL 8 – for large chucked parts up to 400 mm in diameter and 300 mm in length
Integrated automation instead of a separate loading system
On the VL machines, the pick-up principle is part of the machine concept. Depending on the version, driven tools, an optional Y axis and a measuring station outside the working area are available. For complete machining of both workpiece sides, two machines can be linked with a turning station or via EMAG automation solutions such as TrackMotion.
EMAG VT turning machines for automated shaft machining
For shafts, the VT series rounds off the modular range. The VT 2 machines workpieces up to 100 mm in diameter and 400 mm in length, while the VT 4 and VT 200 handle up to 200 mm in diameter and 630 mm in length. Two tool turrets enable simultaneous 4-axis machining; automatic loading and unloading is integrated into the machine concept.
The broad EMAG range also includes the compact WPG 7 cylindrical grinding machine for small shafts and pinions. At 1.8 × 2.4 m, it requires a footprint of only around four square metres.
Buy EMAG vertical turning machines at the CNC Outlet Center and view them under power
Subject to availability, the CNC Outlet Center generally has an EMAG VL 2, VL 4, VL 6 or VL 8 in stock as a new, stock or demonstration machine. We assess which vertical turning machine suits your workpiece, your batch size and your intended production start date.
Assessing an available EMAG vertical turning machine in practice
An EMAG VL on display can be viewed under power and, depending on the exhibit, cutting metal. This allows the pick-up sequence, working area, operation, tool change, accessibility and space requirement to be assessed directly before the investment decision is made.
Short-term availability instead of project lead times
Stock and demonstration machines can provide additional capacity considerably faster than a newly configured project machine. The EMAG machines currently available are shown directly on this page and can be enquired about at short notice.
Pre-qualification at the CNC Outlet Center, detailed configuration by EMAG
We record the workpiece, material, batch size, scope of machining, target cycle time and the desired degree of automation. On this basis, everything is coordinated with EMAG. Process design, application engineering, commissioning, training and after-sales remain with the manufacturer.
Factoring in financing, peripherals and your existing machine
Clamping devices, tools, measuring technology and other peripherals can be taken into account at an early stage. Where required, the CNC Outlet Center extends the investment analysis to include financing as well as the valuation or disposal of an existing machine.
