The VL 1300 employs high precision fine ground ball screws for optimum motion control accuracy.
The sufficient depth from spindle center to machine not only accommodates 700 mm. Y-axis travel but also enables easy access for large diameter facing milling cutter.
Y-axis with 4 roller linear guide ways.
Six Roller shoes are employed on the machine column that firmly supports the headstock to perform heavy duty cutting.
This type of spindle is ideal for heavy cutting application that results in higher material removal rate. In addition, the spindle also features high precision and low thermal growth.
The double chip augers deliver chips out of machine during cutting, that prevent chips from depositing in the machine. Another benefits is to save time in chip.
