Vertical turret lathes - Vertical Ram-type

47 Machines
Vertical lathes are machines necessary for machining large and heavy workpieces, such as railway wheels, large flanges, components for the energy industry, and other bulky items that require stability and power during machining.The distinctive configuration of a vertical lathe clearly differentiates it from traditional horizontal lathes, making it ideal for specific industrial applications where the size and... weight of the workpieces are critical factors.

Technical configuration of vertical lathes

The characteristic design of a vertical lathe places the spindle platform, also called the plateau, at the base of the work area, allowing the clamping and machining of large workpieces. This vertical arrangement of the platform utilizes gravity to stabilize the workpiece during machining, ensuring maximum safety and precision.The tool is positioned at the top, opposite the platform. This configuration provides the operator with excellent visibility of the work area and facilitates setup and quality control during machining.

The RAM device and tool movements

The tool is mounted on a device called a RAM, which allows it to move along the workpiece. The RAM also moves along the vertical axis to accommodate workpieces of different heights, providing maximum operational flexibility and adaptability to various workpiece geometries.This movement system allows precise turning operations even on large components while maintaining the stability required to ensure tight tolerances and high-quality finishes.

Advanced vertical lathes with automatic tool changer

In the most advanced vertical lathes, an automatic tool magazine is available, allowing the use of both turning and milling tools. This feature transforms the vertical lathe into a versatile machining center, capable of performing multiple operations in a single setup, drastically reducing cycle times and increasing overall productivity.The automatic tool changer allows rapid switching from turning to drilling, milling, and other complementary operations, making these machines extremely versatile.

Conventional and CNC vertical lathes

Vertical lathes can be equipped with or without numerical control, depending on the type of machining required:
  • Conventional vertical lathes: ideal for one-off or small batch production, where the operator’s experience guides the process
  • CNC vertical lathes: perfect for repetitive production requiring high precision and repeatability, with advanced programming and full automation

Advantages of vertical lathes

Investing in used vertical lathes offers numerous competitive advantages:
  • Machining capacity: able to handle bulky and heavy workpieces that cannot be processed on horizontal lathes
  • Workpiece stability: gravity helps keep the workpiece stable during machining
  • Accessibility: better access to the work area for setup and quality control
  • Versatility: ability to perform multiple operations with an automatic tool changer
  • Consistent precision: robust structures ensure rigidity even for large workpieces
  • Operational safety: vertical configuration reduces risks related to handling heavy loads
