The VL 5i turning machine from EMAG offers a solution for production companies. It can completely machine workpieces of up to 250mm in diameter in a single clamping operation. In addition to the powerful pick-up working spindle with a rating of 28kW and a torque of 300nm, the machine also has an automation system with a revolving belt which contains drag frames. The machine could be described as being self-automated, which means that new raw parts can be positioned and finished parts removed at any time. The VL 5i also cuts idle times, because the distance between the loading and the machining positions is just 550mm.
