Q: How much does the Victor Taichung Vturn-40/425 cost?

The price estimate for the Victor Taichung Vturn-40/425 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/victor-taichung-vturn-40-425#price; the request is passed to Victor Taichung or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Victor Taichung Vturn-40/425 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

No lathe in Victor Taichung's current list turns a longer part on a Ø91 mm bore than the Vturn-40/425: 4,300 mm (169.29 in) between a 15 in chuck and an M.T. #5 centre. The spindle nose is A2-11, top speed is 2,500 rpm and bar capacity is Ø91 mm (Ø3.58 in).

It is a large installation. The 2 Axis machine weighs 22,000 kg (48,501.63 lb), the C Axis machine 22,300 kg (49,163.02 lb) and the Y Axis machine 22,500 kg (49,603.94 lb). The site has to take the bed in one piece, and the chip conveyor and its cart add to the length.

The usual three configurations are offered, with one difference from the shorter beds. The Y Axis column lists 10 turret tools here, where the other lengths list 12; the C Axis column still has 12 and the 2 Axis column 10. Maximum turning diameters are Ø620 mm (Ø24.4 in), Ø580 mm (Ø22.83 in) and Ø520 mm (Ø20.47 in) in that order. If the tool count matters for a Y Axis order, confirm it.

The machine is described by its maker as a heavy cutting lathe on a single-piece 45-degree slant bed. Shafts of this length cannot be turned without intermediate support, so the optional steady rest, manual or hydraulic, is effectively part of the machine. All tooling is on □32 mm shanks.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4,300 mm (169.29 in) turning length, the longest of the Vturn-40 beds
Ø620 mm (Ø24.4 in) maximum turning diameter as a 2 Axis machine
Ø91 mm (Ø3.58 in) bar capacity through an A2-11 spindle
C Axis and Y Axis configurations for milling on very long parts

Limitations

Weighs 22,000 kg (48,501.63 lb) or more
The Y Axis column lists only 10 turret tools on this length
A steady rest is needed for most work and is an option
With the Y axis, turning diameter is limited to Ø520 mm (Ø20.47 in)

Best For

Very long shafts, rolls and columns up to 4,300 mm (169.29 in) Long parts with cross holes or keyways, on the 12-tool C Axis machine Heavy turning on □32 mm tooling at up to 2,500 rpm Shops with the floor length and crane capacity for a 22,000 kg (48,501.63 lb) machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the maximum turning length of the Vturn-40/425?

4,300 mm (169.29 in), with a maximum turning diameter of Ø620 mm (Ø24.4 in) on the 2 Axis machine. Victor Taichung gives the Vturn-40 range of turning lengths as 1250mm to 4250mm in its series notes.

02 How many tools does the Vturn-40/425 have?

The table lists 10 tools for the 2 Axis machine, 12 for the C Axis machine and 10 for the Y Axis machine, all on □32 mm shanks. The Y Axis figure differs from the shorter Vturn-40 beds, so confirm it when ordering.

03 What does a Vturn-40/425 weigh?

22,000 kg (48,501.63 lb) as a 2 Axis machine, 22,300 kg (49,163.02 lb) with the C axis and 22,500 kg (49,603.94 lb) with the Y axis. Foundation work and heavy rigging are part of the project.

04 Is a steady rest available for the Vturn-40/425?

Yes, the option list for the series includes a steady rest in manual or hydraulic form. On a bed of this length it should be treated as required equipment for slender parts.
