Overview
The Starrag Dorries VC-V Series is a family of double-column vertical turning lathes featuring a distinctive moving table design with a fixed portal frame, adjustable cross rail, and hydrostatically guided Y-axis table base. This architecture differentiates it from the standard VC Series.
Spans 12 models from VC 1600 V through VC 12000 V, with table diameters from 1,250 to 9,000 mm and turning diameters from 1,400 to 12,000 mm. Max turning height: 10,000 mm. Max workpiece weight: 350,000 kg. Main drive: 120-300 kW (S1 continuous).
The moving table with hydrostatic guideways is the key differentiator. The fixed portal frame provides consistent rigidity regardless of table position. Hydrostatic guides eliminate stick-slip and wear.
Supports complete processing: turning, drilling, milling, and grinding. Siemens SINUMERIK ONE with digital twin. New machines: $3,000,000 to $20,000,000+.
