Vertical Turning Lathe (VTL) Machines
Ideal for larger and heavier rounded or cylindrical parts, vertical turning lathes — also known as VTL machines or vertical boring mills (VBMs) — flip a traditional lathe design on its end, employing gravity to help hold the workpiece in place. Our VTL machines utilize many of the same quality components and the same portal structure as our vertical milling machines — the key difference is the integrated rotary table which handles the turning operations.
With available table diameters ranging from 2.5 to 16-plus meters, Waldrich Coburg’s vertical turning lathes can accommodate the most complex, difficult-to-machine parts.
