How much does the Honor Seiki VL-600C cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Honor Seiki VL-600C 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
The Honor Seiki VL-600C is the largest vertical lathe in the maker's published range. It swings and turns 7,000 mm (275.5 in), takes work 2,600 mm (102.3 in) tall and is rated for a 100,000 kg (220,459 lb) workpiece. Sixteen tool positions are listed, and there is no live spindle on the C model.
A seven-metre turning diameter puts it in the class of machine bought for a product, not for general work. Honor Seiki names the wind power industry, where tower flanges, main bearing rings and hub castings have grown with each turbine generation. The same envelope serves large slewing rings for cranes and excavators, tyre mould segments in carriers and hydro components.
Against the VL-500C the height is identical and the gain is in the other two rows: diameter up from 6,000 mm (236.2 in) and load up from 80,000 kg (176,367 lb). A buyer choosing between them is really asking how large the product will get over the life of the machine.
The construction claims are those of the whole range: a wide span column, box ways and the patented Solid lock tool clamping mechanism, suited to hardened material. Standard workholding is a table with a manual 8-jaw chuck. An optional dual spindles model is mentioned on the page without a specification.
Be clear about what the page omits. There is no table diameter, table speed, drive power, ram stroke, machine weight or foundation data, and no named control. A higher power motor, a lubricant chiller for the spindle bearing and gear, linear encoders and a Siemens controller are options. A machine of this size is specified, built and installed as a project.
