Frequently asked questions about CNC lathes
What is the difference between a vertical and a double column machining centre?
The vertical centre (VL range) handles medium-sized parts, with 650 to 1,700 mm X travel and a BBT40 spindle at 10,000 rpm. The gantry or double column centre (DC series) reaches 3,100 mm in X and uses a BT50 spindle at 6,000 rpm, designed for large, heavy parts and large-diameter cutters.
When is a 5-axis machining centre worth it?
When the part has curved contours, hard-to-reach surfaces or must be machined on several faces. The VU65 tilts and rotates simultaneously, so the part is finished in a single set-up, with shorter set-up times and no repositioning.
What X travel do I need?
One longer than the longest part you will machine, with room for the fixture. The VL range goes from 650 to 1,700 mm, the DC series from 2,050 to 3,100 mm and the VU65 has 700 mm. If you are not sure, tell us what parts you make and we will recommend the model.
Which CNC control do they use?
The VL and DC ranges work with Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain or Fagor, depending on the model. The VU65 has a Heidenhain 5-axis control with RTCP, compatible with 5-axis CAM software.
Which spindle taper does each family use?
BBT40 at 10,000 rpm on the VL range; BT50 at 6,000 rpm on the DC series, for large-diameter cutters and heavy fixtures; and HSK63 at 20,000 rpm on the VU65, for high-speed machining.
Who provides technical service?
Vurcon has its own factory technical service, within Grupo Ferrotall, in Monforte del Cid (Alicante, Spain). We advise you before you buy and look after the machine afterwards.
