How much does the Litz VH-2000B cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Litz VH-2000B 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-2000B is the largest and heaviest VH model: a 50-taper vertical machining center with 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X travel, 900 mm (35.4 in) of Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) of Z, weighing 21,000 kg (46,296 lb).
Its BBT-50 direct-drive spindle runs at 8,000 rpm from a 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp) motor. Because the drive is direct, there is no gearbox in the table or the option list, and low-speed torque is whatever the motor delivers. For large-diameter roughing in tough steel, ask Litz for the torque curve before committing. For general 50-taper work in steel, iron and aluminium across a two-metre stroke, the combination is well balanced.
Tool capacity suits long jobs with big cutters. Each of the 24 pockets takes up to 15 kg (33 lb) and 350 mm (13.8 in), with diameter listed as 125 / 250 mm (4.9 / 9.8 in). The 32T arm type magazine is the upgrade.
As on the VH-2000A, the table is printed as 1,700 x 850 mm (66.9 x 33.5 in) with a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) rating, a figure worth confirming for the 2,000 mm stroke. The machine has a 550 L coolant tank, fully-covered sheet metal and a chip auger as standard, with a chip conveyor optional. Rapids are 36 / 36 / 24 m/min (1,417 / 1,417 / 945 ipm) and the supply requirement is 42 kVA.

Travels of 2,000 x 900 x 800 mm (78.7 x 35.4 x 31.5 in), an 8,000 rpm BBT-50 direct-drive spindle with a 15 / 18.5 kW motor, 24 tools, a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) table load and a machine weight of 21,000 kg (46,296 lb).
02
No gearbox appears in the specification table or the accessory list. The spindle is described as direct-drive at 8,000 rpm. Buyers who need high torque at low speed should ask Litz for the spindle torque data.
03
The spindle, tool limits, table figures, weight and rapids are the same in the table. The VH-2000B has 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X travel where the VH-1600B has 1,600 mm (63.0 in).
04
The control is the FANUC 0i-MF PLUS 3, with the Mitsubishi M80 as an option. Other options include a 32T arm type magazine, coolant through the ballscrews, linear roller guideways, linear scales and a 4th axis rotating table.
