The VTC1612-CW is a cornerstone of the JTEKT Machinery Vertical Turning Center VTC Series, engineered for maximum production and flexibility in high-torque turning and milling operations on large-scale components. The machine’s foundation is its unsurpassed rigidity, achieved through a single-piece frame and bed constructed from high-grade cast iron. This meticulous design, featuring thick casting walls and reinforcement ribs, is fully annealed to guarantee long-term accuracy and prevent any bending or twisting that could compromise machining precision.

This Vertical Turning Center is built to handle significant workpieces, offering a 63-inch (1,600 mm) turning table diameter and a maximum swing and turning diameter of 70.9 inches (1,800 mm). The substantial maximum table load capacity of 30,864 lbs (14,000 kg) makes it ideal for heavy components in sectors like power generation and heavy equipment manufacturing. The machine’s powerful performance is delivered through a maximum table torque of 16,584 lb-ft (22,484 Nm), with a turning table speed of up to 260 RPM. It features extensive travels, including a 47.2-inch (1,200 mm) maximum turning height and a Z-axis travel of 41.3 inches (1,050 mm). Furthermore, the ram spindle utilizes a BBT50 BIG-PLUS® taper for enhanced stability and high-speed milling capabilities up to 1,600 RPM, with tool storage options of up to 20 pockets.
