FUJI Machine America Corporation’s new large VTP-1000 Vertical Lathe performs hard turning so precise that grinding is eliminated. Featuring gearless spindle technology and an RS-Slide structure, the VTP-1000 realizes contour and profile cutting accuracies within ±1µm on up to 40” (1m) OD gears and bearing components. With the VTP-1000, precise roundness on high hardness materials (HR60 plus) is possible. A variety of features further contribute to the VTP-1000’s high accuracy operation. Twin Capto C6 Receivers ensure optimum tool tip rigidity, while a magnetic chuck eliminates the distortion associated with conventional workholding methods. For thermal stability, external heat sources are insulated with containment covers. An optional external coolant chiller is available. The VTP-1000’s heightened finishing accuracies result in up to 75-percent shorter manufacturing time. See it at IMTS booth #S-9430, or log on to [www.fujimachine.com].
