How much does the Honor Seiki VL-200CM cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Honor Seiki VL-200CM that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
For twelve-tonne parts that need holes and milled faces as well as turned diameters, Honor Seiki offers the VL-200CM. Its figures are 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of swing and turning diameter, 1,480 mm (58.2 in) of turning height, a 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) workpiece limit, 16 tool positions and a live spindle running 50-2,250 rpm.
Unlike the two smaller CM models on the page, this one loses no height to its turning-only twin. The VL-200C is also listed at 1,480 mm, so the only differences between the columns are the live spindle and the tool count, 16 against 12. The Solid lock clamping system is standard on both.
A part this heavy is expensive to move. Rigging a housing off a lathe, across the shop and onto a boring mill can take longer than the cut it is moved for, and each transfer risks the datum. Drilling flange patterns, milling pads and cutting keyways under the live spindle while the part is still in the turning setup is the reason the CM exists.
The alternative inside Honor Seiki's range is the PL-200CM, which has the same 2,500 mm diameter and 12,000 kg load with 1,600 mm (62.9 in) of turning height and a gantry-type Y axis. The VL-200CM has no Y axis listed.
The page gives no power, torque or taper for the live spindle and no table speed. Cabinet air conditioning is standard for the CM series. Options include a dual speed gearbox for the live tool spindle, high pressure coolant through the tool holder, a grinding function and a Siemens controller.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A live spindle with a 50-2,250 rpm range and 16 tool positions in place of 12. Turning diameter, turning height and workpiece weight are the same on the VL-200C: 2,500 mm (98.4 in), 1,480 mm (58.2 in) and 12,000 kg (26,455 lb).
02
None is listed. Honor Seiki's Y-axis machines are in the PL series. The PL-200CM turns the same 2,500 mm (98.4 in) and carries the same 12,000 kg (26,455 lb), with 1,600 mm (62.9 in) of turning height.
03
Up to 2,500 mm (98.4 in) in diameter, 1,480 mm (58.2 in) in height and 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). An extended higher column and extended Z-axis travel are optional for taller work.
04
A dual speed gearbox for the live tool spindle is listed as an option, so the standard drive is not described as geared. The page gives only the speed range of 50-2,250 rpm; power and torque have to be requested from Honor Seiki.
