Victor Taichung Vturn Lathes

Victor Taichung - an established ISO 9001 company. The cornerstone on which to build your. From the initial design stages through to the final testing, machine production is tightly controlled and monitored adhering strictly to the principles set out in ISO 9001. In today's increasingly competitive market, Victor has held true to traditional methods of building quality and reliable machine tools that will maintain their accuracies and their values in years to come. Cast iron bed The foundation of any machine tool, this must offer rigidity, strength, and above all else high damping properties. These characteristics are best found in quality nodular gray cast iron, produced in Victor's own ISO-9001 certified foundry. All castings are made following the Meehanite process, recognized worldwide as the Quality Mark for good castings. Machine design Through the use of advanced CAD and CAE systems, our R&D laboratory makes computer simulations of structures to test for deformation and vibration characteristics which can later be confirmed by computer-aided testing. VICTOR-TAICHUNG The carriage To ensure smooth and accurate operation of the carriage along the slideway, Victor employs the traditional craftsmanship of hand scraping by skilled produces large contact areas for improved stability in machining. Add to this hand-finished lubrication channels for improved lubrication. Headstock spindle assembly All spindles are assembled in-house in a temperature controlled environment and undergo a series of run-in manufacture tests of up to 24 hours. This post-assembly testing pinpoints any excessive bearing temperatures which would otherwise be crippling on the customer's shop floor. Machine assembly With the philosophy that quality must be built in, not inspected in, moving pallet assembly lines are employed so that each machine can be closely monitored and controlled long before it reaches the QC department. This is maintained by encouraging one person to be fully responsible for the quality of each station as it progresses. Every machine that leaves the factory floor has passed numerous inspection procedures so that we achieve a product that will meet the rigorous demands of our customers. Direct coupled ballscrews High precision preloaded ballscrews for reduced backlash. Direct coupling eliminates motor backlash and improves torque transmission characteristics. Absence of belt or gear drives removes transmission vibration. Angular thrust bearings High rigidity, high precision spindle. Encased in well-ribbed headstock for maximum heat dissipation. Thick cast iron casing to dampen vibrations. Angular thrust bearings to absorb axial cutting forces. Roller bearings with large bearing areas facilitate heavy cutting. Torque tube cast into incline to prevent bed twisting. 45 incline gives adds rigidity to bed structure. Ergonomic design offers easy access to turret for tool changing. Improves chip disposal. Heavy-duty Meehanite cast machine bed Internal casting well-ribbed for maximum stiffness. Grey cast iron offers excellent damping properties compared with steel bed machines. Meehanite process ensures the casting is properly heat-treated and annealed before being allowed to age, thus ensuring a homogenized casting free from stress concentrations. VICTOR-TAICHUNG Fast indexing, durable toolpost Curvic coupling for high positioning. Hydraulic clamping for heavy hogging. Fast indexing with bi-directional random selection. Hydraulic index motor offers optimum service life compared with cam or sensor systems. Hardened box slideways Cast-in slideways for maximum rigidity. Nodular grey cast iron offers ideal friction properties without sacrificing toughness. Heat treated using high-frequency induction heating to produce a wrap-around structure with hard wear resistance surface tough internal core. A depth of 5 mm for maximum wear resistance, ensuring accuracies are held throughout machine life. Programmable tailstock Mounted on slideways for maximum clamping stability. Smooth tow along action by turret. Hydraulic clamping to bed with variable hydraulic pressure to tailstock quill. All tailstock movements programmable by M-code. Feature: Fully enclosed splash guarding Offers complete operator protection during machining. When combined with the optional door interlock, all lathes will conform to full CE requirements. All swarf is contained within the chip chute, ensuring a clean working environment. Optional oil mist remover eliminates coolant mist and metal particles from the machining area. Automatic reliable forced Fanuc CNC lubrication control All slideways moving system members are automatically lubricated. Victor's own custom-designed PLC is used to monitor the entire control system whose reliability is second to none. Alarm given if leak or pressure drop occurs. Optional 18T controller for high-speed cutting. Oil tank and pump located outside guarding for easy maintenance. Powerful hydraulic chuck Renowned reliability of Kitagawa hydraulic chucks used on all lathes. Chuck is foot-operated for safety and easy operation. Separate chip conveyor and coolant sump design, with access from the front of the machine, allows easy cleaning and reduces costly shop floor space requirements. VICTOR-TAICHUNG All Victor Vturn lathes have been designed to conform to CE requirements, the tightest safety standards around. Fully enclosed guarding coupled with water-resistant operation panels, and heat exchangers for the electrical cabinet ensures normal operation is not affected by difficult Conformity working environments. Warning lights are provided to inform the operator of the lathe's operating condition, while optional door interlocks prevent operator access to the machining area during operation. When these features are combined with electrical components conforming to EMC regulations and plentiful warning signs at danger areas around the machine, you are guaranteed a lathe that comes well CE requirements. Large chip chute eliminates chip build-up Prevents chip build around the machining area, which not only causes excessive heat generation in the workpiece and moving members but can be time-consuming to remove. All lathes have a large chip chute directly below the spindle, added to the sloped bed single-piece slideway guarding, this offers a simple but effective system for chip removal. To further increase effectiveness, a shower curtain and air blow device above the chuck can be added. Brushless AC spindle servo motors Brushless motors offer low maintenance Separation system high reliability, while the use of AC power for oil coolant offers higher power output at a lower size. A drip tray cast into the bed is used to catch Servo motors come with high resolution built waste lubricating oil from the Z-axis slideway in encoders. The motors are Fanuc made and ballscrew. offering the highest integration with the control The drip tray is sloped so that the oil can system. flow to an outlet at the rear of the machine. This system reduces contamination or dilution of the cutting fluid. separated coolant tank separated lubricant tank
