Description

Overview
The VDM 2600 S conventional vertical lathe is engineered for machining large-diameter, heavy workpieces. The design facilitates safe, efficient loading/unloading by crane or forklift. A high-torque servo motor drives the feeds and a hydraulic system clamps the crossbeam. The main spindle with reduction gear delivers high torque for heavy cutting; a side support with independent feed is available for outer-contour machining. A 3-axis position indicator is fitted as standard to ensure precision.

Highlights
  • Optimised handling for crane and forklift access
  • Infinitely variable feed control via high-torque servo motor
  • Long, rigid vertical boom with hardened guideways
  • Side support with dedicated feed for external contour machining
  • Reduction-gear main drive for high spindle torque
  • 3-axis position indicator included as standard
