Litz VH-1000A

Q: How much does the Litz VH-1000A cost?

The price estimate for the Litz VH-1000A 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-vh-1000a#price; the request is passed to Litz or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Litz VH-1000A 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 VH-1000A stretches the VH-800A frame to 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of X travel while keeping 540 mm (21.3 in) of Y, 525 mm (20.7 in) of Z and the same 60 / 60 / 30 m/min (2,362 / 2,362 / 1,181 ipm) rapids. It is a one-metre vertical machining center that moves like a small one.

What does the extra length cost? Very little, according to the table. Weight rises to 7,000 kg (15,432 lb) and coolant capacity to 370 L. Table load stays at 500 kg (1,102 lb), which is the catch: the 1,150 x 520 mm (45.3 x 20.5 in) table is longer but cannot carry more. Long aluminium extrusions, rails and bar-shaped parts suit it. Dense steel blocks belong on the VH-1100A, which is rated for 1,000 kg.

The spindle is a 12,000 rpm direct-drive unit, BBT-40, with an 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) motor. Built-in spindles of 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm are optional and require the spindle water chiller.

A 24-tool arm changer is standard, with 30T and 32T magazines as options. Tool limits are 300 mm (11.8 in) and 7 kg (15 lb). The table surface sits 970 mm (38.2 in) above the floor. Electrical supply is 25 kVA and the control is the FANUC 0i-MF PLUS 3; a Mitsubishi M80 can be ordered instead.

Z travel is 525 mm (20.7 in)
Spindle motor is 11 / 15 kW where the VH-1100A has 15 / 18.5 kW
Coolant through the ballscrews and linear scales are options

Best For

Long, light parts such as extrusions and rails up to 1,000 mm Three-vise production setups at high rapid rates Shops that want one-metre travel on a 25 kVA supply

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the X travel of the Litz VH-1000A?

X travel is 1,000 mm (39.4 in), with 540 mm (21.3 in) in Y and 525 mm (20.7 in) in Z. The table is 1,150 x 520 mm (45.3 x 20.5 in) and the spindle nose sits 100 to 625 mm (3.9 to 24.6 in) above it.

02 How much weight can the VH-1000A table take?

500 kg (1,102 lb). That equals the rating of the VH-800A, so the longer table adds length, not capacity. The VH-1100A is the next model up and is rated for 1,000 kg (2,205 lb).

03 What spindle speeds are available on the VH-1000A?

The standard direct-drive spindle runs at 12,000 rpm. Options are a 15,000 rpm direct-drive spindle and built-in spindles at 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm. Litz notes that the spindle water chiller is a must for the built-in spindles.

04 What are the weight and supply figures for the VH-1000A?

The machine weighs 7,000 kg (15,432 lb), needs 25 kVA and 6 kg/cm² compressed air, and has a 370 L coolant tank. Axis motors are 3 / 3 / 4 kW for X, Y and Z.
