With this design EMAG stood the classic turning machine concept on its head. Every VSC machine is a manufacturing cell that utilizes the pick-up spindle to load itself. Another advantage for the customer: the VSC machine can be tailored to suit individual manufacturing requirements. Some of the reasons for its successEvery machine is a manufacturing cell that utilizes the pick-up spindle to load itself Extremely short loading and unloading travels Multi-functional production aid: turning, drilling, milling, grinding, gear cutting, laser machining and other processes The workpiece travels, the tooling systems remain stationary, offering ideal chip flow conditions, as the tools are located below the workpiece (also ideal for dry machining) The hydro-static bearings of the work spindle in Z-axis guarantee outstanding component quality and an extended tool life for soft and hard machining All machine assemblies with a bearing on accuracy are fluid-cooled Safe, no-wear, maintenance-free machining area envelope
