The EMAG VL 3 DUO CNC Machine, an efficient twin-spindle machine solution for chucked parts up to 150 mm in diameter, expands the product portfolio of the extremely successful VL series.
VL 3 DUO – Multi-Spindle Machines for High-Productive Manufacturing of Chucked Parts
The VL 3 DUO turning machines combine the technological developments of recent years, including pick-up automation and the TrackMotion automation system, to the modular basic design of the cnc machine – and creates an extremely efficient production system offering maximum productivity with minimal space requirements.
Like every EMAG modular turning machine, the VL 3 DUO multi-spindle machines are equipped with its own parts storage unit and a pick-up spindle for each work area.
The work areas are mirror images of each other, but each has their own working spindle. With output of up to 17.9 kW and torque up to 144 Nm, these spindles have the power for fast and precise cnc machining. Each work area features a tool turret with 12 tool positions, which can be loaded with driven tools as well as non-rotating lathe tools.
TrackMotion – Modern Parts Management in the Production Process
The EMAG TrackMotion automation system is an option on any VL 3 DUO turning lathe. This automation system consists of three central components: the track, the TransLift NC gripper moving along the track, and the storage unit for raw parts. The entire system is very compact and runs directly behind the work areas of the VL 3 DUO multi spindle machine. With the TrackMotion system, the individual workpiece is always the main focus.
