How much does the Victor Taichung Vturn-NP16 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Victor Taichung Vturn-NP16 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-NP16 is a compact 6 in chuck lathe for short parts: 270 mm (10.62 in) maximum turning length, a 6,000 rpm spindle on an A2-5 nose and Ø42 mm (Ø1.65 in) bar capacity. Victor Taichung gives the machine width as only 1488 mm, and that narrow footprint is the main argument for it.
Two columns are listed, 2 Axis and C Axis. The 2 Axis machine turns up to Ø260 mm (Ø10.23 in), with Ø185 mm (Ø7.28 in) as the standard turning diameter. Adding the C axis brings both figures to Ø200 mm (Ø7.87 in) and raises the weight from 3,700 kg (8,157.09 lb) to 4,070 kg (8,972.80 lb). Both carry a 12-tool turret on □20 mm shanks.
No tailstock appears in the spec table, and the option list offers a manual tailstock with power quill. So this is a chucking and bar machine as delivered. With 270 mm (10.62 in) of length to work in, that is rarely a handicap. The captions on the maker's page show the model paired with a gantry robot or a built-in articulated robot, and a robot system is on the option list.
Rapid feed is given as 30 m/min, chips leave at the rear, and the maker states that spindle thermal displacement is estimated and compensated by its own PLC. The control is a Fanuc 0i-TF Plus with a 10.4 in screen and Manual Guide i.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Machine width of only 1488 mm, so several fit side by side in a cell
- 6,000 rpm spindle on an A2-5 nose with a 6 in chuck
- 12-tool turret on □20 mm shanks in both the 2 Axis and C Axis columns
- Rapid feed of 30 m/min and rear chip disposal
- Spindle thermal displacement is compensated by Victor Taichung's own PLC
Limitations
- Turning length stops at 270 mm (10.62 in)
- Bar capacity is Ø42 mm (Ø1.65 in)
- The C Axis column cuts the maximum turning diameter from Ø260 mm (Ø10.23 in) to Ø200 mm (Ø7.87 in)
- A tailstock is an option, and only as a manual unit with power quill

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Victor Taichung gives a machine width of only 1488 mm. Weight is 3,700 kg (8,157.09 lb) for the 2 Axis machine and 4,070 kg (8,972.80 lb) with the C axis. Z travel is stated as 250 mm.
02
The maximum turning diameter falls from Ø260 mm (Ø10.23 in) to Ø200 mm (Ø7.87 in), the standard turning diameter becomes Ø200 mm (Ø7.87 in) as well, and the weight rises to 4,070 kg (8,972.80 lb). Spindle, bar capacity and the 12-tool turret stay the same.
03
The spec table has no tailstock row for this model. A manual tailstock with power quill is on the NP series option list, so ask for it if the work includes shafts that need a centre.
04
Ø42 mm (Ø1.65 in) through the A2-5 spindle, at speeds up to 6,000 rpm. A bar feeder interface is listed as an option rather than as standard equipment.
