Victor CNC Turns Out Another Vturn Master class

The award winning Victor Vturn-26HD has long been a firm favourite among manufacturers with a need for a mid-sized turning centre that delivers power, precision and uncompromising levels of reliability.  Now, Victor CNC has added to this line with the arrival of the new Vturn-S26 (CM). 

Complementing the existing Vturn-26 HD and VT-A26CM, the new arrival has been re-engineered to provide a host of new features that include the option of a servo powered C-axis to offer driven tooling stations. This new facility gives end users the option of the cost-effective 2-axis Vturn-26HD workhorse or the equally cost effective, more flexible 3-axis Vturn-S26.  

As with all Victor CNC machine tools, the foundation for the new Vturn-S26 is a large sturdy single-piece slant-bed. The single-piece design eliminates the possibility of coolant leakage whilst the 30 degree design lowers the centre of gravity to enhance rigidity and performance. In addition, this innovative new configuration provides a large swing diameter that enables end-users to load larger billets. The performance of the new Vturn-S26 is encapsulated in its 18/24m/min rapid feed rates and high thrust force of 1441 kg/f that reduces chip-to-chip times and ensures that productivity levels are best-in-class. Further contributing to the productivity level of the new Vturn-S26 is the 12 station live tooling turret. The BMT-65 turret has an indexing time of just 0.8 seconds whilst the powerful 4.5kW motor delivers live tooling speeds of 4000rpm with huge levels of torque, rigidity and repeatability generated from Victor Taichung’s own turret configuration. 

Despite its nimble and productive performance, the new Vturn-S26 offers a massive spindle output of 22kW with 574Nm which permits heavy duty cutting under the most challenging conditions and materials. End users can rest assured that surface finishes and tool life are optimised with the unparalleled rigidity and machine stability that are the hallmark of the Victor CNC brand. The new Vturn-S26 has a weight of 6130kg, credit to the Meehanite casting and heavy duty boxways that are 64 and 80mm in X and Z respectively. 

The latest addition to the Victor CNC stable has an increased swing over the bed. The Vturn–S26 has a swing of 600mm compared to the 520mm on previous Vturn-26HD models and this increases the maximum turning diameter from 410 to 430mm.   The Vturn-S26 also incorporates the latest FANUC 0iTF CNC control with a large 10.4 inch colour screen display and intuitive manual guide, hydraulic chuck, programmable tailstock, chip conveyor, hand wheel, tool-holders, coolant flush on Z-axis cover and a 3-step warning light. 
For end users looking to upgrade this compact new powerhouse, Victor CNC can also offer a host of optional accessories that include a manual or auto tool pre-setter, part catcher, power-chuck, high pressure coolant, bar-feed interface, auto-door, tailstock centre and of course the C-axis configuration.
