How much does the Victor Taichung Vturn-45/125 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Victor Taichung Vturn-45/125 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 Victor Taichung Vturn-45/125 is a big-bore lathe: Ø117.5 mm (Ø4.62 in) of bar capacity through an A2-11 spindle with a 15 in chuck, at speeds up to 2,000 rpm. Turning length is 1,325 mm (52.16 in). It is the Vturn-40 with a larger spindle, and the maker calls it an even heavier cutting lathe.
Bore size is the whole reason for the model. Pipe, thick-walled tube and bar that will not pass the Ø91 mm of the Vturn-40/125 go through this spindle, and a large spindle bore of 135mm is available beyond that. An 18 in chuck is offered as an option to the standard 15 in.
Top speed drops from the 2,500 rpm of the Vturn-40/125 to 2,000 rpm, which hardly matters on work of this diameter. Turning capacity is the same as on the smaller-bore machine. The 2 Axis column gives Ø620 mm (Ø24.4 in) maximum and Ø520 mm (Ø20.47 in) standard; the C Axis column Ø580 mm (Ø22.83 in) and Ø492 mm (Ø19.37 in); the Y Axis column Ø520 mm (Ø20.47 in) and Ø432 mm (Ø17 in). Swing over the carriage is Ø620 mm (Ø24.4 in) in all three.
Tools number 10 on the 2 Axis turret and 12 with live tooling, on □32 mm shanks. Weight is 12,700 kg (27,998.67 lb), 13,000 kg (28,660.05 lb) or 13,300 kg (29,321.44 lb) by configuration.
