Knuth VCM 1600 S Vertical Lathe
The VDM series of vertical lathes offers modern, conventional solutions for machining large workpiece diameters and heavy workpiece weights. Their design enables particularly easy and safe loading and unloading. The feed drive is a high-torque servo motor, and a powerful hydraulic system clamps the crossbeam. The main drive provides high torque for heavy machining, and a side support is available for machining the outer contour. The standard mounted 3-axis position indicator ensures precision.
Knuth has been building machine tool since 1923.
Manual, solid and proven technology with inverter controlled main drive.
Ideal for rework of heavy-duty work pieces
Infinitely variable feed control via servomotor
Optimum tooling and easy access for cranes and forklift trucks
Heavy-duty column with wide, hardened guideways
Hydraulic clamping of cross traverse
Rigid guide construction ensures maximum rigidity and accuracy of the vertical boom
Spindle runs in a high-precision two-row roller bearing and is adjustable
Reduction 4-Speed gear drive ensures high torque and a speed range of 5 - 160 rpm,
infinitely variable in each gear.
Servo motor technology ensures powerful, infinitely variable feed of the vertical boom
