vertical lathe

Home / vertical lathe

Vertical lathe, also known as vertical turning center (VTC) or vertical boring machine (VBM), is a type of lathe used to process large and heavy workpieces in a vertical direction.

Unlike traditional horizontal lathes, in traditional horizontal lathes, the workpiece is installed horizontally and the tool moves horizontally. Vertical lathes install the workpiece vertically on a rotating table or chuck, while the tool moves vertically.

Vertical lathes are particularly suitable for processing parts that are too large or heavy to be installed on horizontal lathes. They are typically used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and heavy machinery manufacturing.

The following are some advantages and characteristics of vertical lathes:

Heavy duty machining: Vertical lathes are designed to handle heavy workpieces with diameters ranging from a few inches to several meters. They are the ideal choice for machining components such as large gears, turbine rotors, and hydraulic cylinders.

Stability: The vertical direction of the workpiece provides greater stability during the machining process, reduces the risk of vibration, and ensures higher accuracy and surface finish.

Space efficiency: Compared to horizontal lathes with similar capacity, vertical lathe typically have a smaller footprint and are therefore suitable for workshops with limited space.

Complex parts: Vertical lathe can process complex geometric shapes, contours, and irregular shapes. They can also adapt to turning, surface treatment, drilling, and milling operations.

Automation: Many vertical lathes are equipped with automation functions, such as automatic tool changers, pallet tool changers, and robot loading and unloading systems, achieving continuous and efficient production.

Application scope: Vertical lathes are suitable for a wide range of applications, including turning, boring, threading, end face, slotting, and conical turning.

Hybrid machine tools: Some vertical lathes are hybrid machines that combine traditional turning functions with additional functions such as milling, grinding, and drilling, making them suitable for various machining tasks.
