How much does the EMAG VLC 200 GT cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from EMAG. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The EMAG VLC 200 GT combines turning and grinding of chucked parts up to 200 mm (8 in) in diameter and 100 mm (4 in) long. It carries a 12-station VDI 40 turret alongside a 12 kW (16 hp) grinding spindle, holds the part in a 210 mm (8.5 in) chuck, and EMAG lists a surface finish of Ra 0.2 µm (8 µin) or better.
The point of having both processes in one machine is that a hardened part can be hard-turned and then ground without leaving the chuck. Faces, grooves and non-critical diameters are turned from the turret, and only the seats that need the finish go to the wheel, so the grinding allowance and the grinding time both shrink. Keeping one clamping also removes the runout that a transfer between two machines adds.
The travels are unusual: 1,700 mm (67 in) of X against 250 mm (10 in) of Z, for a part no longer than 100 mm (4 in). X therefore spans far more than the part, which points to a layout where the axis carries the work between stations. EMAG's table does not describe it, so ask for the work-area layout and the loading arrangement.
The listed data stop at the envelope, the grinding spindle, the turret and the finish. Turning spindle speed and power, the control and the machine weight are not given.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Turning and grinding in one clamping: 12-station VDI 40 turret plus a 12 kW (16 hp) grinding spindle
- Surface finish listed as Ra 0.2 µm (8 µin) or better
- 210 mm (8.5 in) chuck for parts up to 200 mm (8 in) in diameter
- 1,700 mm (67 in) of X travel
Limitations
- Part length is limited to 100 mm (4 in), so shafts are out
- Turning spindle speed and power are not listed
- No machine weight, footprint or control is listed, so installation planning needs EMAG's layout drawing

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes. It has a 12-station turret with VDI 40 tool holders for turning and a 12 kW (16 hp) grinding spindle, so a part can be turned and ground in the same 210 mm (8.5 in) chuck without being reclamped.
02
Chucked parts up to 200 mm (8 in) in diameter and 100 mm (4 in) long: gears, flanges, discs and similar short components. Z travel is 250 mm (10 in), which leaves room above a full-length part for tool and wheel approach.
03
EMAG lists Ra 0.2 µm (8 µin) or better. That figure applies to the ground surfaces; ask which material and process sequence it was measured on before committing it to a drawing.
