The VM 9 was designed for the machining of chucked components with a diameter of up to 450 mm.
The VM 9, built for machining small series of chucked parts, is ergonomic, precise and productive, according to the company.
The bottom spindle can hold workpieces with a diameter of up to 450 mm. These are machined by the 12-station disc-type turret which can be fitted with both turning and driven tools.
The VM 9, designed for manufacturing small series at low cost, offers excellent accessibility, according to the company.
"Part of the large family of EMAG modular machines, the VM 9 vertical turning center is designed for the manufacture of individual parts and small production runs with a wide variety of parts, combining a reliable design with an extensive range of equipment," said a company spokesperson. Designed to machine chucked components with a maximum diameter up to 450 mm, it features a tool turret which can be fitted with up to 12 tool positions, depending on the tool interface (BMT or VDI). The turret can be equipped with driven tools to carry out drilling or milling operations.
"The particularly good damping properties of Mineralit, combined with the compound slide with the X- and Z-axes, ensure excellent machining quality, high-speed processes and short idle times," said the spokesperson. "The main spindle provides the necessary power with a 83 kW rating and a torque of 990 Nm, and the integrated probe delivers absolute process reliability by ensuring continuous quality control of the workpieces. Thus, the VM 9 is well-equipped for a wide variety of production tasks, enabling it to produce a wide range of workpiece formats. In terms of ergonomic design, both the machining area and all maintenance components are easy to access."
"This is the positive aspect of the VM 9," said Georg Hndel, Manager Technical Sales at EMAG Leipzig Maschinenfabrik GmbH. "It is an advantage for customers who have to machine many different workpieces as prototypes or various part families in many different manufacturing scenarios."
The VM 9 is suitable for a variety of applications including components for trucks, construction and agricultural machines or mechanical and plant engineering. The excellent accessibility to the machining area makes the machines an all-round solution for turned parts.
