At EMO 2013, EMAG will be presenting the VL 2 single-spindle vertical pick-up lathe for the machining of small chucked components.

The EMAG VL2 machine opens up new opportunities for the machining of a wide range of small chucked components. Small gearwheels, planetary gears, sliding sleeves, pump components, synchronizer rings, chain gears, and flange components—with a maximum diameter of 100mm and a length of up to 150mm—are machined on a vertical pick-up lathe with great efficiency. The machine design focuses on providing a variety of manufacturing technologies for soft and hard machining plus a complete automation system at a very favorable price-performance ratio. When developing the VL 2, EMAG had, from the start, its eyes fixed firmly on the investment costs for the user and the fact that those costs should be kept as low as possible.

This comparatively small, space-saving manufacturing solution also includes a number of details and high-tech components that guarantee fast processing:

• The pick-up spindle ensures that the machine loads itself. It picks up the raw parts from the integral conveyor belt (which accommodates up to 24 workpieces) and later returns the finish machined component to it.
• The 12-station tool turret features very short indexing times. For drilling and milling operations, it can also be equipped with driven tools in all 12 stations.
• All service units are quickly and freely accessible. The distance
   between operator and turret, for instance, does not exceed 400mm.
• The machine base of polymer concrete MINERALIT® ensures great stability and has outstanding damping qualities, a direct source for exceptional surface finishes.
