CNC Vertical Turning Lathe

A Vertical Turning Lathe (VTL) is a type of lathe where the spindle is oriented vertically, and the workpiece is mounted on a horizontally rotating table. This design is ideal for machining large, heavy, and cylindrical workpieces, as gravity helps to stabilize and support the part during cutting.
Features:- Suitable for large and heavy-diameter workpieces
Capable of handling very large diameters and heavy parts—often over 1 meter—such as wind turbine hubs or railway wheels. - High workpiece stability
Low center of gravity offers superior stability during cutting, especially for heavy parts. - Easy clamping and centering
Vertical orientation simplifies loading/unloading with cranes and aids in centering large workpieces. - Suitable for internal bore and end face machining
Excellent for face turning, boring, and OD turning on large parts. - Compatible with multi-station turret and CNC systems
Modern VTLs support CNC control and tool changers for high automation and flexibility.
