Complete machine couplings with a nominal diameter (pipe size) of 6 5/8” – 13 3/8” on the VSC 500 vertical pick-up turning machine.
Precision Coupling Production – Machining of Couplings and Tool Joints
With the VSC 500 turning machine, it is possible to cut all types of threads - including API and GOST standards, which are critical in the oilfield industry. To achieve the highest quality, our VSC turning machine are all designed with a robust machine base made of MINERALIT® polymer concrete.
Flexible Workpiece Flow Reduces Footprint and Costs
The pick-up spindle ensures that the turning machines of the VSC series load themselves. Whether the workpiece is loaded or unloaded from the left or the right, the direction of the workpiece flow – and thus the position of the turning machines in the production line – is customizable. Advantages: the footprint is smaller and link-up costs are considerably lower. Integration into manufacturing systems is guaranteed by the availability of a variety of automation components.
Advantages
Every machine is a production cell that utilizes its pick-up spindle to load itself
Short machining travel times and equally short workhandling times
The workpiece travels while the tooling systems remain stationary
Ideal chip flow conditions wherethe tools are located below the workpiece
The work spindle with hydro-static guideway in Z-axis (optional) ensures outstanding component quality and a high tool life for soft and hard machining operations
All accuracy defining machine assemblies are fluid-cooled
Safe, wear resistant, maintenance free machining area envelope
