What is CNC vertical lathe?
Vertical Turning Advantage Kent CNC offers a compact and a heavy duty line of vertical turning centers. Vertical turning centers or vertical turning lathes let gravity reinforce the workpiece’s stability. The weight of the workpiece goes straight down into the machine’s foundation to minimize inaccuracies.
What is the difference between CNC lathe and CNC turning?
CNC Turning Centers are enclosed and can use flood coolant. They also have one or more tool changers, while most CNC Lathe Machines have only one. As well, CNC Turning Centers also typically have or can have a chip conveyor, and CNC Lathe Machines mostly do not have one.
What is CNC VTL?
A CNC vertical lathe is a turning machine in which the worktable is parallel to the ground. This design provides many advantages for machining precision parts. For one thing, VTL lathes use the force of gravity to help secure and stabilize the work piece.
What is a vertical lathe used for?
The vertical lathe is mainly used for processing large and heavy workpieces with large diameter and short length and workpieces that are not easy to be clamped on horizontal lathes. When the swing diameter is satisfied, the workpiece that is too heavy is not easy to be clamped in the horizontal lathe.
What is a vertical turning lathe?
Vertical turning lathes (VTL) are machines that orient the spindle in the vertical plane in a fixed position. The workpiece then spins, moving up and down to put it in line with the cutting head. These machines are less complex than horizontal lathes.
What is HMC machine?
Horizontal machining occurs on a horizontal machining center (HMC), which employs a spindle that is parallel to the ground floor. With a horizontally oriented spindle, tools stick out of the side of the tool holder and cut across the side of a workpiece, encouraging chips to fall away from the table.
What can you make with a CNC lathe machine?
A CNC lathe machine can produce a range of products, from larger items such as automobile frames and airplane engines to smaller items, such as surgical instruments, gears and garden tools.
How many axis is VTL?

What is difference between CNC and VMC?
What is the Difference Between a CNC and VMC? There is no difference between the two machines. A VMC is a machine with a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) controller.
