Why VERTOR C/M?
Chuck parts or shafts
Shafts are machined with tailstock and steady-rest support; the 4-axis version with two turrets shortens machining times.
Technology integration
Internal and external out-of-round turning (HOT), hard turning, grinding, drilling and milling; wet and dry machining. In the manufacturer's example the steel-piston line cycle is 30 s.
Variants
VERTOR C
A6 spindle with 90 mm bearing: 18 / 23 kW and 115 / 146 Nm (100 / 40 % duty cycle), 1,500 / 6,000 rpm (rated / max.)
Suited to: Jobs requiring high spindle speed
VERTOR M
A8 spindle with 150 mm bearing: 52 / 67 kW and 580 / 450 Nm (100 / 40 % duty cycle, manufacturer's table), 1,100 / 3,500 rpm
Suited to: Heavy cutting requiring high power and torque
2-axis
One turret, 12 tools
Suited to: Single-turret set-up with a small footprint
4-axis
Two turrets, 2 × 12 tools
Suited to: Shorter machining times

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the VERTOR C and the VERTOR M?
Turning diameter (Ø 450 mm), chuck (600 mm), travels and turret are the same on both; the difference is the spindle. VERTOR C: A6 with 90 mm bearing, 18 / 23 kW, max. 6,000 rpm. VERTOR M: A8 with 150 mm bearing, 52 / 67 kW, max. 3,500 rpm.
Can the VERTOR machine shafts?
Yes; shafts are machined with tailstock and steady-rest support.
What is the difference between the 2-axis and 4-axis versions?
The 4-axis version shortens machining time with a second turret.
