The JTEKT VT16 Vertical Turning Center is a high-rigidity, bridge-type machine designed for heavy cutting and single-setup multi-tasking on large industrial components. It is engineered for maximum production efficiency and high-torque applications.

Core Features and Construction

• Bridge-Type Rigidity: The VT16 features a bridge-type design for robust, high-rigidity construction, ensuring superior performance during heavy cutting on ferrous, non-ferrous, and high-temp alloy materials.
• Hydrostatic Table: Equipped with a hydrostatic table and C-axis indexing, the machine offers exceptional support and vibration dampening for heavy workpieces up to 17,600 lb 8,000 kg.
• High-Torque Power: The turning table is driven by a powerful 60 HP 45 kW motor and delivers a robust 14,014 ft-lb 19,999 Nm of torque. The spindle’s stability is reinforced by a Wele-designed curvic coupling.
• Multi-Tasking Capability: The live function of the spindle allows for both turning and milling operations to be completed in one clamping, maximizing flexibility and production output. Tooling management is streamlined through a puzzle-type magazine and automatic head change functionality.
