Product Introduction

The Large Vertical CNC Lathe is engineered for precise, high-rigidity machining of heavy, large-diameter workpieces. Designed with a horizontal rotary table, the machine supports total component weight directly from below, ensuring maximum stability during heavy roughing and precision finishing.

Ideal for processing components with high weight-to-diameter ratios-such as large flanges, rings, discs, hubs, bearing housings, gear blanks, and heavy industrial castings.

Engineering Advantages of Vertical Turning

 

Gravity-Supported Workpiece Mounting: The part sits directly on the horizontal table, eliminating spindle sag, deflection, and complex counterweighting common in horizontal lathes.
Top-Loading Accessibility: Open top architecture enables fast, safe loading using overhead workshop cranes.
Optimized Large-Face Machining: Direct face turning across large surface areas without altering part alignment or re-clamping.
High Structural Stability: Short distance between the table support bearings and foundation provides maximum dampening during heavy intermittent cuts.

 

Industry Applications

 

Wind Power & Energy: Wind turbine hubs, slewing rings, generator housings, and tower flanges.
Mining & Construction Equipment: Crusher frames, heavy gear rings, wheel hubs, and excavator swivels.
Power Generation & Turbines: Steam/hydro turbine housings, large sealing rings, and heavy valve bodies.
Oil & Gas Industry: Subsea valve bodies, blowout preventers (BOP), and high-pressure flanges.
Metallurgy & Heavy Manufacturing: Rolling mill components, forged rings, and industrial furnace bases.

 

Rigid Double-Column Structure

 

Symmetric Force Distribution: Twin columns support the crossbeam from opposite sides, channeling heavy cutting forces straight into the rigid machine base.
Stable Tool Support: High-rigidity cast frame dampens vibrations during aggressive cuts on cast iron and forged steel.
Expansive Working Space: The wide opening between columns accommodates bulky geometries while maintaining high structural stiffness.
Integrated Drive Systems: Frame, hydrostatic table, main drive, and RAM tool post are precision-matched to maximize cutting efficiency.

 

Multi-Process Machining Operations

 

The machine performs diverse heavy-duty turning operations on a single setup:
External Turning (OD): Cylindrical surfaces, shoulders, steps, and outer contours on flanges, gear blanks, and housings.
Internal Boring (ID): Large-diameter internal bores, pump cavities, and bearing seats with extended ram reach.
Face Turning: High-precision flat facing on flange sealing surfaces, mounting pads, and disc faces.
Grooving & Tapering: Internal/external seal grooves, snap ring slots, and conical taper turning via multi-axis CNC interpolation.
Heavy stock removal (roughing) followed by fine tool passes (finishing) to meet tight dimensional tolerances and surface finishes.
 

Customizable Machine Configurations

 

Tailor machine build options to match specific production demands:
Rotary Table: Hydrostatic or precision roller bearings configured for high torque or higher RPM.
Tool Post & Ram: Single ram, dual ram, live tooling (milling/drilling), or automatic tool changers.
Main Drives & Motors: Heavy-duty two-speed gearboxes providing high torque at low speeds.
Auxiliaries: High-pressure coolant systems, automatic centralized lubrication, chip conveyors, and Renishaw tool/part probes.
 

Global Logistics & Installation Support

 

Seaworthy Export Packaging: Rust-inhibitor coating, heavy plastic wrapping, and steel-skid wood crate framing.
Disassembly & Assembly Marking: Clear match-marking on structural sub-assemblies for seamless re-assembly.
Foundation & Site Readiness Plan: Complete foundation layout drawings and electrical planning provided prior to shipment.

On-Site Commissioning & Service: Global field technical support available for installation, commissioning, and operator training.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What types of workpieces are best suited for a Vertical CNC Lathe?

A: Parts with high weight-to-diameter ratios, such as flanges, rings, bearing housings, discs, valve bodies, and large castings.

Q: Why choose a double-column vertical lathe over a single-column or horizontal machine?

A: The dual-column design provides balanced dual-side support for heavy cutting forces, while top-loading eliminates workpiece overhang sag common in horizontal setups.

Q: Can the machine be customized for specific workpiece operations?

A: Yes. Table diameter, ram travel, motor power, CNC controller brand, live tooling, and tool changer options are customized based on your part drawings.

Q: What power supply and foundation requirements should be prepared?

A: The electrical cabinet is wired to your regional grid standard. Comprehensive foundation blueprints and lifting clearance specs are provided upon order confirmation.
