New Multitasking CNC Turning Center for Large Parts Machining



Okuma has introduced its VTM-2000YB multitasking CNC turning center, which provides heavy-duty construction for large parts machining. "The rigidity and powerful cutting capabilities of this machine make it ideal for machining large diameter workpieces such as those in the aerospace industry," said a company spokesperson. "The vertical architecture offers the advantage of natural part handling and excellent chip fall, while taking up minimal floor space."

The VTM-2000YB enhances the design of the VTM-2000YB to increase rigidity, power, B-axis range, speed and accuracy. "It utilizes Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept to improve thermal stability, and it has powerful turning and milling capabilities with .001° B and C axes," said the spokesperson. This CNC turning center has 1.6 meters of Y-axis travel, combines turning and milling functions for large parts in the same machine and includes a 36 tool ATC for tool changing.

The following are key specs of the VTM-2000YB CNC turning center:

  • Max turning diameter: Ø 2,000 mm (Ø 78.74")
  • Spindle nose type: 380 mm flat nose
  • Lathe spindle speed: 4~200 RPM
  • Milling spindle speed: 10,000 RPM
  • Rapid traverse (X/Y/Z): 32/32/32 m/min (1,260/1,260/1,260 IPM)
  • Rapid traverse (B/C): 19.5/20 RPM.
