Lathes From Romi Can Handle a Range of Load Capacities

Romi's VT Series vertical CNC lathes includes six models ranging from the VT 1400M with a load capacity of 22,000 lbs. to the VT 6000 that reportedly can handle 198,400 lbs. on chuck. Romi says the ability to effectively machine parts this size is made possible because of the company’s cast iron monoblock beds, columns and vertical carriage. According to Romi, the mechanical structure provides exceptional rigidity, stability and versatility for machining workpieces found in heavy industry.

The series includes the VT 1400M, VT 2000M, VT 2500M, VT 3000M, VT 5000 and VT 6000 with table sizes from 1,400 (55") to 6,000mm (236") with maximum turning diameter from 1,600mm (63") up to 7,000mm (276”) and maximum height from 1,650 (65") to 4,000mm (157").

All models feature vertical RAM, C axis, 31kW live tooling with spindle taper ISO 50 with either a 10- or 20-tool magazine, as well as linear scales for machining precision. The VT Series are equipped with a Siemens Sinumerik 840D SL CNC with a large 19" LCD color monitor, USB port and Ethernet interface.
