Key Benefits of the VT800 High Precision Vertical Lathe: Redefining Heavy Turning Standards

The VT800 high-precision vertical lathe is a key piece of equipment from DRC Machinery designed for high-precision machining of large parts in the automotive, energy and mechanical engineering industries.
All important components of the VT800 are sourced from the world's leading brands, guaranteeing durability and stability:
  • Control system: FANUC 0i-TF (optional Siemens 828D) - convenient operation and fast response.
  • Transmission: PMI/HIWIN linear guides, NSK bearings, SAUTER swivel support - high precision and low wear resistance.
  • Auxiliary system: ISHAN automatic lubrication, STAIRS cooling pump, self-produced efficient slurry pipe - support continuous operation.
  • Maximum processing diameter: Φ800mm, maximum table load 1200kg (suitable for large and heavy parts).
  • Main spindle speed: 0-2000 rpm, support C-axis positioning and path control (for complex surface processing).
  • Feeding rotary support: 12 feeding tools, rated power - 5.5 kW, maximum speed - 3000 rpm (flexible adaptation to multi-processing).
  • Axes travel: X axis - 500 mm, Z axis - 700 mm (enables processing of most medium-sized parts).

Fully enclosed protective casing, IP69K rated light fixture and IP54 control cabinet prevent coolant leakage and dust ingress. The rotating control panel (90°) and the large observation window, as well as the pedal control of the hydraulic chuck, simplify operation. The low center of gravity design and rear-mounted slurry duct saves production space and optimizes workshop layout.

VT800 Vertical Turning Center - The Flagship of High Precision Heavy Machining | DRC Machinery

vertical turning center VT800 is a high-precision heavy-duty CNC machining equipment that combines ultra-rigidity, high precision and productivity. Designed specifically for machining large flanges, brake discs, hubs, new energy motor housings and other precision parts. As a leading manufacturerhigh precision vertical lathes in the industry, with 280,000 m² of state-of-the-art manufacturing and experience in over 20,000 machine tools, we have developed the VT800 into a core piece of equipment in the heavy-duty turning industry, fully meeting the demanding demands of the automotive, construction, bearings and new energy industries.

I. Key Benefits: Redefining Heavy Turning Standards

1. Super rigid design - stable under heavy machining

VT800 is equipped with a high quality cast iron base MEEHANITEprecision cast and aged to provide excellent rigidity, thermal stability and torsional resistance. The symmetrical box column provides reliable support for the support during heavy machining. The X/Z axes are equipped with PMI/HIWIN rigid roller linear guides and pre-tensioned recirculating ball screws, which guarantee minimal deformation and stable processing even under intensive cutting conditions.

2. Micron precision - meets the requirements of high-precision products

The equipment meets the VDI 3441 test standard: X/Z axis positioning accuracy ≤ 6/8 µm, repeatability ≤ 4/5 µm, C axis positioning accuracy ≤ 20 arcsec. The main spindle is mounted on precision NSK ball bearings with lifetime lubrication and a direct positioning system, and the hydraulic closed clamping device ensures precise and stable workpiece clamping - even thin-walled and complexly shaped parts are processed with high repeatability.

3. Integration of multifunctionality - increase productivity by 30%+

  • The 12-station BMT65 feed rotary support with an indexing time of just 0.12 seconds (without locking) allows you to perform complex operations - turning, milling, drilling and tapping - without re-clamping the part.
  • Main spindle power - 18.5/22 kW, maximum torque - 730 Nm; When choosing the optional German ZF gearbox, the torque can be increased to 3200 Nm, which ensures easy processing of high-strength materials (QT500, HT250, etc.) during heavy cutting.
  • The fast travel speed of 20m/min, automatic lubrication and cooling system, and rear slurry pipe greatly reduce the auxiliary time, increasing productivity by 20-30% compared with traditional equipment.

4. Humanized design—safe and easy to operate

Fully enclosed protective casing, IP69K rated light fixture and IP54 control cabinet prevent coolant leakage and dust ingress. The rotating control panel (90°) and the large observation window, as well as the pedal control of the hydraulic chuck, simplify operation. The low center of gravity design and rear-mounted slurry duct saves production space and optimizes workshop layout.
