5-axis machining in a compact footprint

Our new machine series:

The VSR 2 travelling-column machining centre is fitted as standard with a tilting rotary table that pivots around the Y-axis. Unlike conventional X-axis solutions, this innovation gives the operator an unobstructed view of any potential interfering contours during machining.

With its compact footprint, the machine is perfectly suited for 5-axis and 5-sided machining of smaller components.

Traverse ranges:

X = 1100 mm
Y =   600 mm
Z =   700 mm

Main design

  • Extremely compact: With a footprint of around 12 m², the VSR requires an unusually small amount of floor space
  • Space-saving installation: Thanks to the side access door to the guide area, the VSR can be placed directly against a wall at the rear
  • High Z-axis stroke of 700 mm
  • Cross slide, column, and headstock made of high-quality cast iron
  • Highly rigid, statically and dynamically balanced base frame construction
  • Enclosure/Housing in accordance with current machine tool directives
  • Optimal accessibility for maintenance and service tasks

Guideways and drives

  • Linear roller guides in the X, Y, and Z primary axes for high dynamics and rigidity
  • Excellent adjustability and re-adjustability of the guideways
  • Drives and guides are located in a protected position outside the working area
  • Ball screws in all linear axes

 

2-axix tilting rotary table

  • Swiveling around the Y-axis
  • In contrast to the conventional swiveling around the X-axis, this solution allows an unobstructed view of potential interference contours
  • Face plate 550 x 550 mm with rounded corners, r=325 mm
  • Optional additional face plates with zero-point clamping systems or T-slots
  • Swivel range +/- 110°
  • Direct drive and direct measuring system for the B-axis (swivel axis) and C-axis (rotary table axis)
  • Rapid traverse, swivel axis: max. 60 rpm
  • Rapid traverse, rotary table axis: max. 100 rpm

Space-saving tool magazine

  • XTS magazine tower, which can be equipped with up to three chains for 60 tools each
  • Max. 180 tools with a length of up to 400 mm
  • Support for various tool holder systems, such as SK or HSK
  • Fixed-pocket tool management for a better overview for the operator
  • Tool magazine is located in a protected position outside the working area
  • Loading of the magazine is possible during machining (background loading)
  • During tool changes, the rotary table remains in position and does not need to be swiveled away

 

Optional robot interface

  • The traveling column design allows for a lateral lifting door for fully automated loading
  • Thanks to this connection, access to the working area remains unobstructed, and the machine can be operated without restrictions
  • The position of the rotary table (swiveling around the Y-axis) enables lateral workpiece feeding without the need for complex lifting or lowering maneuvers
  • The tool magazine and changer are optionally available in a mirrored configuration. This allows two machines to be loaded in parallel by a single automation system – an extremely compact and efficient system solution
