Heavy-duty, ram-type vertical turning lathe

The MVL-10HD heavy-duty, ram-type vertical turning lathe (VTL) features a 49" swing and 39" diameter table. Engineered for heavy metal removal rates, its features include full-wrap, arc-shaped column, full-length cross rail, and single-piece saddle for rigidity and cutting performance. The MVL can be configured so that the ram and tool changer accept CAPTO, KM, CAT or other standards, without intermediate tooling blocks, in capacities up to 60 tools.

The MVL’s large cross rail extension allows for easy access to probing part diameters as well as using left and right inserts on each turning tool holder, effectively doubling tooling capacity.

Structural components, including base, column, and cross rail, are made from the highest-quality cast iron, which is stress-relieved for deformation-free performance. Axis ways are of box-type construction, high frequency induction-hardened, and Turcite-B coated for wear resistance.

The column fully curves around the table to maximize mass, rigidity, and dampening and minimizes the distance between the column’s box ways and cutting insert. A single piece, extra-long cast iron saddle supports the ram during cutting, providing additional rigidity.

The horizontal-umbrella rotation style automatic tool changer (ATC) may be replaced with a vertical chain ATC and a side-arm tool-changer, reducing floor space and tool change time.
