The KDC Vertical Turning Lathes are intended for turning the cylindrical, conic, and curved surfaces as well as the complex shaped workpieces. As an option the rail Hades May be pro-vided with a live tool spindle making it possible to perform drilling and milling operations.
The use of the latest Siemens SINUMERIC 840D CNC and digital drive technology ensures maximum performance and the complete compatibility of all drive and control components.
Together with numerous optional equipments, Vertical Machining Centers, KDC series are suited to our Customers' specific needs.
The machine tool body system consists of a bed, two columns and a beam all mechanically connected what forms a frame structure. The machine tool basic members as the columns, cross rail, rail head, base, and table are made as high grade iron castings. This ensures both the machine high geometrical stability and its good vibration damping, better than fabricated structures.
