en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 25, 2026, at the "2026 Metalworking Industry – Ringier Technology Innovation Award" ceremony held in Suzhou, China, the vario⁺ series of whirlwind milling machines from Austrian Weingärtner Maschinenbau GmbH received the award. As a global leader in turn-mill and whirlwind milling technology, this recognition reflects Weingärtner's progress in the precision machining of ultra-large workpieces.
Li Yulin, Regional Marketing Director for Asia Pacific at Weingärtner, stated at the ceremony that the vario⁺ series was developed to meet the demands of the oil and gas, energy, and large rotor machining sectors. The equipment can process ultra-large workpieces with a diameter of 340 mm and a length of 12 meters or more, integrating four-axis four-link external milling, single- or multi-head peeling milling, and point-radius milling functions. This enables complete machining in a single setup, enhancing the precision and efficiency of large rotor processing.
The Ringier Technology Innovation Award, hosted by Ringier Industrial Media, has been held annually since 2006. The selection covers the entire metalworking industry supply chain, recognizing innovative products and technologies with outstanding contributions each year. The Weingärtner vario⁺ series earned recognition from the judges for its ultra-large machining range, four-axis linkage high-rigidity design, multifunctional integration, and environmentally friendly design.
The vario⁺ series whirlwind milling machines are specifically designed for power section rotors, PC pump rotors, and ball screws, offering milling, peeling milling, and whirlwind milling capabilities. Since 2024, Weingärtner has introduced the new vario⁺ series, capable of machining large rotor workpieces with diameters up to 340 mm and lengths of 12 meters or more, targeting the oil and gas, energy, and gear machining industries.
The vario⁺ series features ultra-large machining capabilities, with a maximum machining diameter of 340 mm and a maximum machining length of 12 meters or more. Its four-axis four-link high-rigidity design integrates C-axis, A-axis, X-axis, and Z-axis, enabling all processes to be completed in a single setup. The equipment integrates single- or multi-head peeling milling functions with point-radius milling, offering multiple uses in one machine, and is available in various specifications such as vario⁺700, 1000, and 1200L. In terms of environmental and safety design, it features a fully enclosed machine tool with optional air-cooled cutting technology, eliminating the need for coolant. This series has been applied by customers in the oil and gas industry, such as Deshi Stock, for manufacturing core components like screw drilling tools.
The vario⁺ series whirlwind milling machines have been sold to markets in Europe, the Americas, Australia, and China.
