With the increasing demand for bigger and bigger Alloy wheel manufacturing Victor has come up with an alternative solution for easier loading/unloading wheels and further reduces the spindle idle time.
Victor Vturn-V24W lathes are built from with new innovation to provide a 4 axis vertical CNC lathe specifically designed for Alloy wheel production.
- Twin VDI turrets:
- Reduced cutting times by allowing 2 machining operations to be completed simultaneously.
- Orientating to tools to be directly opposed during machining ensures a more stable cutting process.
- VDI tooling allows quick tool changeover.
- Exclusive offset-tooling design further enables the I.D. turning by two turrets moving imultaneously to double the cutting efficiency for the first operation OP-1.
- Independent hydraulic pump design control for twin turrets stabilizes turrets for long time operation without problems.
- High performance servo drives
- Direct coupling of servo motor to ballscrew for vibration less drives.
- Counterbalance for Z-axis by the powerful wervo motor with built-in brakes.
- Bonded Turcite eliminates stick slip during rapid feeds for a smoother drive.
- Low-pitched ballscrews with fixed-fixed at both ends increases thrust force at the tool tip.
- Extra High Efficient chip evacuation/removal
- TWO chip conveyors with king size coolant tank 1500 (Vturn-V24W)or 1000 (Vturn-V20W) liters disposes high volumn of chips and enhances the production without scratching on the wheel surface because of less chip build-up and high flow rate coolant pumps Grundfos CH12-30.
- Oil cooler seperator effectively removes fine metal particiles from the coolant to ensure stable coolant flow.
- Auto Chuck Changer with 3 finger wheel chucks.
- Rotary type offers fast exchange time within 13 seconds (Vturn-V24W) or 10 seconds (Vturn-V20W) to reduce the machine idle time for wheel changeover.
- Fully hydraulic 3-finger chuck with stiff arm and pull-back clamping guarantees cutting stiffness, better surface finish and longer service life.
- Both chucks can be used for either rear or front face turning allowing a single lathe to complete wheel turning.
- Exclusive design for one single chuck with multiple arm-and-finger packages provides a cost-effective and high flexibility solution for the customers.
- Compact floor space requirements when compared to 2 horizontal lathes.
- Turning capacity can be further upgraded to 26” wheels without installing ACC.
- High powered spindle motor
- Rigid structure for reliable heavy-duty turning!
- 2 piece Meehanite cast iron base with heavy ribbing base quickly dissipates localized vibration throughout cast structure. Hand scraping is used to ensure perfect mating with both case blocks.
- Rigid A2-13spindle is supported by large diameter bearings to maintain tight run-out even under heavy cutting, while vertical orientation removes accuracy problems encountered due to overhang.
- Robust turrets with cast iron bodies and hydraulic operated are designed to easily handle interrupted cuts encountered in wheel machining.
- Hydraulic tank is easily accessed and uses a heat exchanger to maintain low oil temperature and filtration system to ensure stable operation.
- Deep Angled bed design with 2 large holes around the spindle collects high voulmn of chips and coolants to reduce the cleaning frenquency and according idle time.
Fanuc high powered spindle motor 55kW provides ample power to run heavy cuts with both turrets simultaneously and compliments the high axis thrust force.
