How much does the Litz VH-2000A cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Litz VH-2000A 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-2000A offers the longest X travel in the VH vertical machining center series at 2,000 mm (78.7 in), together with 900 mm (35.4 in) of Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) of Z. It uses a 12,000 rpm direct-drive spindle with BBT-40 tooling.
There is a point to check before ordering. The specification table gives the same 1,700 x 850 mm (66.9 x 33.5 in) table for the VH-2000A as for the VH-1600A, although X travel is longer here. Ask Litz to confirm the table length for this model, since fixture planning depends on it. Table load is listed as 1,500 kg (3,307 lb).
Two metres of X at 12,000 rpm points to long aluminium parts: beams, rails, extrusions and plate that would otherwise need repositioning. The spindle motor is 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp), and tools are limited to 7 kg (15 lb), so this is not the model for heavy roughing with large holders. The VH-2000B covers that.
The standard magazine holds 30 tools and a 40T arm type magazine is an option. Rapids are 36 / 36 / 24 m/min (1,417 / 1,417 / 945 ipm) with 4 / 4 / 4 kW axis motors. On a 2,000 mm axis, the optional coolant through the ballscrews and linear scales deserve a serious look if positional accuracy over the whole stroke matters. Machine weight is 19,000 kg (41,887 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
2,000 mm (78.7 in). Y travel is 900 mm (35.4 in) and Z travel is 800 mm (31.5 in), with 100 to 900 mm (3.9 to 35.4 in) between the spindle nose and the table.
02
The specification table lists 1,700 x 850 mm (66.9 x 33.5 in) with seven 18 mm T-slots and a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) load. That is the figure also printed for the VH-1600A, so confirm the table length with Litz for the 2,000 mm model.
03
The VH-2000A is BBT-40 at 12,000 rpm with 30 tools and a 7 kg (15 lb) tool limit. The VH-2000B is BBT-50 at 8,000 rpm with 24 tools and a 15 kg (33 lb) limit, and weighs 21,000 kg (46,296 lb) against 19,000 kg for the VH-2000A.
04
Standard is the 12,000 rpm direct-drive spindle. A 15,000 rpm direct-drive spindle and built-in spindles at 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm are listed as options; the built-in spindles need the spindle water chiller.
