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 VSK 400 turns chucked parts up to 400 mm in diameter from a 445 mm (17.5 in) chuck, with a 12-station turret and 1,200 Nm (885 ft-lb) of spindle torque. X travel is 850 mm (33.5 in) and Z travel is 315 mm (12.5 in).
Its listed travels, chuck and torque match the VSC 400 figure for figure. The one row the VSK 400 adds is the turret, with 12 stations. That is a moderate tool count for parts of this size, enough for roughing, finishing and boring with spares, but tight if a part needs many different tools.
With 1,200 Nm on the spindle, the machine is set up for heavy cuts at large diameters. Z travel is the constraint to check: 315 mm (12.5 in) has to cover part height, tool length and clearance. The table gives no spindle speed, power, driven tools, control or machine weight, so ask EMAG for those before planning a process on it.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed travels, chuck and torque are identical: 850 mm (33.5 in) X, 315 mm (12.5 in) Z, a 445 mm (17.5 in) chuck and 1,200 Nm (885 ft-lb). The VSK 400 table also lists a 12-station turret, which the VSC 400 table does not.
02
Up to 400 mm in diameter, clamped in a 445 mm (17.5 in) chuck. The table gives no workpiece length, so check part height against the 315 mm (12.5 in) Z travel.
