VCC - travelling column machining centre
The small powerhouse
No matter if the small VCC or the "big" VCC 50 - each of our machine types provides a variety of solutions on a compact basis. The small space requirement makes the VCC particularly interesting for small and medium-sized companies.
-
Main design
Main design
- Cross slides, travelling columns and spindle head stock are made from high-quality cast iron
- Extremely rigid, static and dynamically well balanced ground frame construction
- Casing according to current machinery directives, totally closed working area with no interfering contours
- Total access to working area when doors are fully open
- Excellent accessibility for maintenance and service tasks
- Machine transport in one piece
In addition, the VCC can be flexibly extended, for example:
- Through spindle coolant with filter system
- Chip conveyor in slat-band belt, scraper belt or magnetic belt versions
- Controllers either from Heidenhain or Siemens
- Rotary tables horizontally or vertically integrated, in 1 or 2 axes, combined with tailstocks, counterbearings or a further rotary table in gantry mode for clamping bridges.
- Automatic doors
- Clamping systems - hydraulic, pneumatic, magnetic or manual
- Touch probes and tool touch probe systems
- Active power monitoring, collision monitoring and complete process monitoring
- Tool identification systems
- Laser breakage control with tool measurement
- Remote maintenance
-
Guideways and drives
Guideways and drives
- Hardened precision steel slideways mounted on manually scraped or grinded surfaces
- Optimal guiding by extremely large guidance ratio and Turcite coatings
- High rigidity, outstanding long-term precision performance and excellent vibration absorbing capabilities of the guideways
- Excellent resetting and adjustability of the guideways
- Drives and guideways are protected set outside of working area
- Ball screws in all linear axes
-
Tool changing system
Tool changing system
- Fixed location coded tool management enables better monitoring for the operator
- Support of various tool holding systems such as SK, BT, HSK
- Tool magazine is protected outside of working area
- Placement of the magazine during machining possible
- Tool change takes place behind working area cladding: no disturbing contours in the working area during tool change by the gripper or parts

Tilting spindle
Tilting spindle
The VCC 50 has the option to extend the three main axes with a swivel head with SK 50 tool holding system and / or a vertically or horizontally integrated rotary table.
