Fives ITAS - Model VTC Series -Vertical Turning Machine
The Giddings & Lewis VTC Series, with tables from 1000 mm to 4500 mm, are designed to meet the specific cutting needs of multiple industries, based on feedback from customers. The designs prioritize flexibility, with multifunctional capabilities on a single machine. There are also multiple tooling and attachment options for increased versatility.
Like the smaller Giddings & Lewis V Series models, these vertical turning centers feature a unique, infinitely-adjustable cross rail. This innovative component enables the machines to handle a wide range of part types and sizes, all the way up to 5 m in diameter, and 60 000 kg in weight. Full X-axis travel left and right of the center optimizes probing routines, while the C-axis provides full contouring functionality. For further versatility, an optional live spindle adds grinding, milling, drilling and tapping capabilities.
The exceptionally stiff design of these machines ensures that large components are efficiently cut to micron-specific requirements, with reliable repeatability.
