Litz VB-1300B/BG

Q: How much does the Litz VB-1300B/BG cost?

The price estimate for the Litz VB-1300B/BG is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/litz-vb-1300b-bg#price; the request is passed to Litz or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Litz VB-1300B/BG 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 Litz VB-1300B/BG is the longer of the two VB vertical machining centers. It offers 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of X travel with 610 mm (24.0 in) of Y and 600 mm (23.6 in) of Z, a BT-50 spindle, and a 1,500 x 600 mm (59.1 x 23.6 in) table.

The comparison with the VB-1100B/BG is short. X travel and table length each grow by the same step. Against the VB-1100B/BG at 9,600 kg and 416 L of coolant, this model weighs 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) and carries 450 L. Table load is 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) on both, and so are Y, Z, rapids and the tool changer.

So the question is whether the parts are long. Bars, beams, long die plates and rail-shaped castings are the natural work. Because the Y travel and the 600 mm table depth match, long narrow workpieces sit fully inside the cutting zone, and the working area is listed as 1,300 x 600 mm (51.2 x 23.6 in).

Spindle speed depends on the version: 10,000 rpm for the B, 8,000 rpm for the BG. Thirty BT-50 tools are carried, each up to 15 kg (33 lb). The spindle centre is 660 mm (26.0 in) from the Z rail surface, a deep throat that goes with the 610 mm Y stroke. Standard equipment includes the chip conveyor and coolant cooling system. FANUC 0i MF is the control and supply is 25 kVA.
