How much does the Litz VC-1600A(B) cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Litz VC-1600A(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-1600A(B) is a large vertical machining center with 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of X, 900 mm (35.4 in) of Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) of Z, and a table rated for 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). It is the VC model that leans hardest toward heavy cutting.
Several things in the listing say so. The tool weight row gives 15 kg (33 lb) with no lighter alternative, and tool diameter is 125 / 225 mm (4.9 / 8.9 in) with length up to 350 mm (13.8 in). The accessory list for this model is filled in for a BT-50 machine: a 6,000 rpm belt spindle and a 24T arm type magazine are marked standard, with 8,000 rpm belt, 8,000 rpm direct-drive and 10,000 rpm direct-drive spindles as options and a 32T magazine as the upgrade. The specification table, for its part, prints 10,000 rpm and BT-40 first and 6,000 rpm and BT-50 in brackets. Settle the configuration in writing with Litz.
The motor is 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp) either way. The table measures 1,700 x 850 mm (66.9 x 33.5 in) with seven T-slots. X and Y rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm).
Weight is 19,000 kg (41,887 lb), or 19,500 kg (42,989 lb) in brackets. The table for this model matches the VH-1600B in travel, and the VH machine is the faster of the two at 36 m/min in X and Y. The VC-1600A(B) answers with a higher table load. Supply is 42 kVA.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
2,000 kg (4,409 lb) on a 1,700 x 850 mm (66.9 x 33.5 in) table with T-slots listed as 7 x 18 x 100 mm. Spindle nose to table distance is 100 to 900 mm (3.9 to 35.4 in).
02
The sources differ. The specification table prints 10,000 rpm with BT-40, and 6,000 rpm with BT-50 in brackets. The accessory list marks a 6,000 rpm belt spindle and BT-50 as standard. Ask Litz which applies to the quoted machine.
03
Tools up to 15 kg (33 lb) and 350 mm (13.8 in) long, with diameter listed as 125 / 225 mm (4.9 / 8.9 in). The table gives 30 tools, and 24 as the bracketed figure; the accessory list shows a 24T magazine as standard and 32T as an option.
04
The VC-2000A(B) has 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X travel, a 2,100 x 850 mm table and a 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) load. Y and Z travels, the motor rating and the tool limits are the same as on the VC-1600A(B).
