Large Ram-Type Vertical Turning Center



Doosan Machine Tools America has introduced a series of large capacity, ram-type vertical turning centers. The series is comprised of the PUMA VTR1216 and the PUMA VTR1216M. The VTR1216M is equipped with an additional spindle for milling, providing mill-turn capabilities on one machine tool platform. Both machines offer a number of productivity enhancing features. The one-piece bed with dual chip conveyers improves chip handling and reduces downtime for manual chip removal. Up to four tools can be mounted in quad holders that can be integrated into the tool magazines with capacities available from 12 to 34 stations, increasing the number of total tools for automatic selection and reducing the tool change time while improving productivity. Main table speeds of 60 HP - 400 RPM and live spindle speeds of 20 HP - 3,000 RPM (VTR1216M) offer the power and speeds needed to take advantage of today's cutting tool technology.

According to Bob Baldizzi, Technical Sales Specialist for Doosan's large machines, "The system provides 90° indexing on turning tools, making it possible to mount four different turning tools on each holder. The result is reduced average tool change times and increased tool capacity resulting in shorter cycle times and fewer set-ups between operations."

One of the main benefits of the single, wide column design is that it provides full X-axis travel distances, allowing machining and probing on both sides of the workpiece and a 1,200 mm (47.2") Z-axis travel. Both machines in the series provide a cutting capacity of 1,700 mm (67") in diameter and 1,250 mm (49.2") in height. The cutting envelope is 125% larger than its predecessor.

Both models are built to offer heavy roughing and accurate finishing. The VTR1216 and VTR1216M are designed and built with long service life in mind with 17,600 lbs. (8,000 kgf) load capacity main tables, cross roller bearings, a curvic coupling toolholder interface providing 17,600 lbs. (8,000 kgf) of tool clamping force, a dual pinion C-axis (VTR1216M) and rigid construction design and materials.
