The Small Vertical Lathe is a CNC turning machine for disc, sleeve, flange, and ring-shaped metal parts. Its vertical spindle layout combines hydraulic workholding with multi-tool turning for repeat production of short rotary components.
Workpiece Capacity
The machine handles rotary parts with a maximum turning diameter of φ380–480 mm and maximum turning height of 300 mm.
Typical workpieces include:
Turning Operations
The machine covers the main operations required for these rotary components:
OD turning
External diameter machining
ID boring
Internal diameter machining
Facing
End-face machining
Grooving
Groove machining
Chamfering
Edge finishing
Multiple operations can be completed in one setup through the turret tooling system.

Spindle Clamping
The vertical spindle uses an integrated structure with a maximum speed of 2,500 rpm.
A hydraulic chuck secures the workpiece during turning and provides powered clamping for repeated loading and unloading.
The vertical spindle arrangement places disc, flange, ring, and sleeve-type parts directly on the chuck, keeping the work area compact.
Turret Tooling
The multi-station turret holds multiple turning tools for sequential machining.
Typical tooling includes:
Tool indexing allows different operations to run within the same machining cycle without manual tool replacement between each operation.
Axis Motion
All three axes use precision linear guides, ball screws, and servo drives.
The machine also includes an automatic lubrication system. Lubrication is supplied automatically to the machine's moving components during operation.
An independent hydraulic unit supplies hydraulic power for the chuck and related clamping functions.
Machine Configuration
The main machine configuration includes a vertical spindle unit, hydraulic chuck, multi-station turret, precision linear guides, ball screws, servo drives, hydraulic unit, automatic lubrication system, coolant system, and enclosed guarding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What information is needed for a quotation?
A: Provide the part drawing, annual quantity, target cycle time, required tolerance, material, and current machining process.
Q: Can sample machining be arranged before purchase?
A: Workpiece-based machining evaluation can be discussed when drawings or sample parts are available.
Q: Can the machine be connected to automatic loading equipment?
A: Yes. Automatic loading and unloading can be incorporated into production-line planning, with the loading method reviewed during technical evaluation.
Q: Can the machine be supplied for an existing production line?
A: Yes. Submit the existing line layout, loading method, part drawings, and required production cycle for integration review.
Q: What spare parts should overseas buyers keep in stock?
A: Common electrical, hydraulic, lubrication, and wear-related components can be included in a recommended spare-parts package.
Q: What documents are supplied with the machine?
A: The shipment includes standard commercial documents, shipping documents, the machine manual, and relevant technical documentation.
Q: How is the machine checked before shipment?
A: Final inspection covers machine functions, axis movement, spindle operation, chuck operation, and the configured machine systems.
Q: Is installation guidance available?
