Vertical turning machine Dörries CONTUMAT VC 1600 V

CNC4-axisfor the aerospace industry

With the addition of a moveable table, traversing through the twin column portal design of the VC machine range, the VC-V provides the ultimate flexibility for machining large components. In addition to the «on center» machining capability of a standard lathe the VC-V machines are able to machine eccentric features. With the use of our extensive range of standard milling and drilling attachments, the VC-V machine range is capable of full 5 sided machining of components up to 12,000 mm in diameter and 350 tons in weight. On machines with a Y-axis the component can be machined in any position. The turning table is set on a sliding bed. The default Y-axis travel corresponds to the swing diameter of the machine size, but can be tailored to suit any application. Palletizing Automatic work piece changing equipment reduces set-up down time with increased manufacturing flexibility. Tool magazines Dörries lathes offer flexible tool handling systems. The multifunctional disc magazin offers up to 72 pockets, the chain type magazine up to 100 pockets and the column magazine with double gripper unit up to 210 pockets. Head attachments A wide variety of head attachments are available. These could be angular milling heads, universal-swivel heads, facing heads or grinding spindles. Option boring, milling, grinding The machine can be adapted with a boring and milling drive of 37 kW. Also grinding operations are optinal possible. Main drive / C-axis drive The main drive is powered by one or two electrically preloaded drive units with asynchronous motors. The power is max. 2 x 60 kW.
