How much does the EMAG VLC 100 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from EMAG. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The EMAG VLC 100 is a vertical turning machine for small chucked parts up to 100 mm (4 in) in diameter and 150 mm (6 in) long. It carries a 160 mm (6.5 in) chuck, has 210 mm (8.5 in) of swing and holds its tools in an 8-station turret with VDI 30 holders. Travel is 650 mm (25.5 in) in X and 375 mm (15 in) in Z.
The table is short. It gives no spindle speed, power or torque, no driven tools and no control, so those have to come from EMAG before the machine can be judged against a part. What it does show is how closely the VLC 100 matches the VL 2 in size: both have 650 mm (25.5 in) of X, 375 mm (15 in) of Z, a 160 mm (6.5 in) chuck and 210 mm (8.5 in) of swing. The difference in the listed figures is the turret, with 8 VDI 30 stations on the VLC 100 against 12 on the VL 2.
Eight stations is enough for a part with a handful of turning and boring operations, but not for one that needs many tools. Count the tools in the process plan first.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to 100 mm (4 in) in diameter and 150 mm (6 in) in length. The chuck is 160 mm (6.5 in) and swing is 210 mm (8.5 in).
02
The listed travels, chuck and swing are the same on both: 650 mm (25.5 in) X, 375 mm (15 in) Z, a 160 mm (6.5 in) chuck and 210 mm (8.5 in) swing. The VLC 100 has an 8-station VDI 30 turret; the VL 2 has 12 stations and a 6,000 rpm spindle.
03
8, in VDI 30 holders. The table does not say whether any stations are driven, so ask EMAG if the part has drilled or milled features.
