How much does the ROMI VT 1400M cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the ROMI VT 1400M 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 ROMI VT 1400M is the smallest of Romi's ram-type vertical CNC lathes, and still a large machine: a 1,400 mm (55 in) chuck, 1,600 mm (63 in) of turning diameter and a table that accepts 10,000 kg (22,000 lbs). The M in the name refers to the driven tool in the ram, which with the C axis turns the lathe into a machine that also drills and mills.
It is the quickest of the series. The chuck runs from 1 to 335 rpm, with a first range of 1 to 100 rpm for roughing. Two 31 kW motors drive the table together through what Romi calls a Dual Drive System, listed as 2 x 42 hp / 2 x 31 kW, and the C axis holds up to 31,500 Nm (23,200 lb-ft) for positioning and contouring.
The ram is a 250 x 250 mm (9.8 x 9.8 in) square section with 1,000 mm (39 in) of travel and an ISO 50 taper. Its driven spindle turns at 3 to 3,000 rpm with 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) from a 40 hp / 31 kW motor, and tools are changed from a 20-tool magazine. Programmed X travel is 1,145 mm (45 in).
Height under the tool is set by the cross rail, which is repositioned in 6 steps of 150 mm for a total of 900 mm. With the ram, the maximum turning height is 1,500 mm (59 in); parts up to 1,650 mm (65 in) tall are allowed on the table. Both axes rapid at 20 m/min (787 in/min). The machine is 5.6 m (220 in) high, covers 8.3 x 5.7 m (327 x 224 in) and weighs 39,000 kg (85,980 lbs), so building height and foundation are the first things to check.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Chuck speed up to 335 rpm, the highest in the VT Series
- Driven tool in the ram: ISO 50, 3 to 3,000 rpm, 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft)
- C axis with 31,500 Nm (23,200 lb-ft) of maximum torque
- 20-tool magazine serving the ram
- Rapid traverse of 20 m/min (787 in/min) in X and Z
Limitations
- Chuck load is limited to 10,000 kg (22,000 lbs)
- Ram travel of 1,000 mm (39 in) is the shortest in the series, shared with the VT 2000M
- The cross rail moves in fixed 150 mm steps, not continuously
- Needs 5.6 m (220 in) of height and carries 39,000 kg (85,980 lbs) onto the foundation
