VT 2 ? The turning machine for vertical 4-axis shaft machining Where shaft machining involves large numbers of workpieces, the first choice must be the VT series of turning machines. In the machining of shafts on turning machines the focus is on the speed of the process, whereby both loading / unloading and the machining cycle need to be very fast. This optimal requirement is fulfilled with the VT 2 turning machines. Four axes, short travels, powerful mainspindle ? these are the strengths of the VT 2 turning machines. The full impact can be best felt where the component batches are large. Of decisive importance in the use of these turning machines is the ?two-sided? machining process, which massively reduces the machining time on the VT 2 turning machine.
