How much does the Victor Taichung Vturn-NP26 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Victor Taichung Vturn-NP26 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-NP26 is the 10 in chuck lathe of the NP series, with an A2-8 spindle nose, 3,500 rpm, 75 mm (2.95 in) of bar capacity and 640 mm (25.19 in) of turning length. It is the newest-looking entry in the range: the maker's notes call out roller guideways, a servo BMT65 turret and a one-piece slant bed, and describe the machine as ready for unmanned operations.
Diameter capacity barely moves between the two configurations, which is unusual in this series. The 2 Axis machine turns 450 mm (17.71 in) at most and the C Axis machine 440 mm (17.32 in); standard turning diameters are 271 mm (10.66 in) and 266 mm (10.47 in). What does change is the turret, 10 tools on the 2 Axis machine and 12 with the C axis. Weight is 5,200 kg (11,464.02 lb) or 5,300 kg (11,684.48 lb).
Swing over the carriage is 540 mm (21.25 in), and the tailstock quill is M.T. #5. Shanks are □25 mm. Rapid feeds are given as 30/30 m/min.
Chip disposal can be to the rear or to the right, so the conveyor can be placed to suit a robot or a gantry. For a shop choosing inside the NP family, this is the model that gives up the least when live tooling is added.
