Racer Machinery International’s VTX machine series of vertical turning lathes feature a cross rail designed for full ram travel. The rail is guided on both ends for higher accuracy and for the ability to hold two tools in each holder, enabling seamless turning of IDs and ODs. Programmatic indexing in the Y-axis enables for extended height, accommodating taller parts with ease.
The VTX series features a rail designed for full-length travel, providing turning of the internal and external diameters of a part. Supported and driven on both ends, it is said to guarantee rigidity and accuracy in machining operations. The frame, engineered using Racer’s patented Phantom Machine Design process, effectively absorbs maximum vibration, enhancing stability and surface finish.
Versatility is a key feature of the VTX series as it accepts tooling for turning, milling or grinding, offering users the flexibility to handle diverse machining tasks with precision. With a 32-station tool changer as standard, mounted off the machine frame, tool changes are quick and efficient, reducing downtime and maximizing productivity.
