How much does the Litz VC-1200A(B) cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Litz VC-1200A(B) 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 VC-1200A(B) is a vertical machining center with 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of X travel, 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y and 675 mm (26.6 in) of Z, sold in two spindle versions that share one column in the maker's table. The model name itself carries the bracket, and so do several rows.
The first figure in each of those rows describes a BT-40 machine: 10,000 rpm, an 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) motor, tools up to 7 kg (15 lb), and a weight of 8,500 kg (18,739 lb). The bracketed figures are 6,000 rpm, BT-50, 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp), 15 kg (33 lb) tools, 4 / 4 / 4 kW axis motors and 9,000 kg (19,841 lb). They read as the B version. Confirm with Litz which set applies to the machine quoted, because the two are very different tools.
Shared figures are simpler. The table is 1,220 x 620 mm (48.0 x 24.4 in) and carries 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). X and Y rapids are 24 m/min (945 ipm), a step down from the 36 m/min of the VC-1000A. Daylight is 100 to 775 mm (3.9 to 30.5 in).
The standard magazine holds 24 tools up to 300 mm (11.8 in) long, and a 32T arm type magazine is optional. FANUC 0iMF-Plus is standard. Supply is 35 kVA and the coolant tank holds 360 L.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,200 x 600 x 675 mm travels with a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) table load
- Available as a 10,000 rpm BT-40 machine or, per the bracketed figures, with BT-50 at 6,000 rpm
- Up to 775 mm (30.5 in) between spindle nose and table
- 32T arm type magazine as an option
Limitations
- X and Y rapids of 24 m/min (945 ipm), slower than the VC-1000A
- The table mixes two versions in one column, so each quoted figure needs confirming
- Chip conveyor and chip cart are options
- Needs a 35 kVA supply, against 25 kVA for the VC-1000A
