The JTEKT VTC1612 Vertical Turning Center is a high-performance, highly rigid machine specifically engineered for demanding, heavy-duty cutting applications on large-diameter workpieces. It is a critical asset for manufacturing sectors requiring stability, power, and multi-tasking capabilities.

Advanced Structural and Power Features

The core of the VTC1612 is built for stability during rigorous machining:

• Hydrostatic Table: Features a hydrostatic table with C-axis indexing, offering unparalleled damping characteristics and stability to handle extremely heavy loads up to 30,864 lb or 14,000 kg while ensuring high precision.
• High Rigidity: The spindle utilizes a curvic gear-tooth coupler for enhanced rigidity, ensuring accuracy even under severe cutting forces.
• Powerful Motor: The turning table is driven by a powerful 60 HP 45 kW motor, delivering exceptional torque 14,796 ft-lb for heavy cutting of ferrous, non-ferrous, and high-temp alloy materials.

Single-Setup Efficiency

The VTC1612 is a true multi-tasking machine, designed to complete complex parts in a single setup:

• Live Spindle Function: The live function of the spindle allows operators to perform both turning and milling operations without transferring the workpiece, minimizing setup time and potential errors.
• Tooling Flexibility: Includes a puzzle-type magazine for greater tooling flexibility and automatic head change functionality.
