Victor Taichung Vturn-Q200

The Victor Taichung Vturn-Q200 is a twin-spindle turning center built around several turrets, meant for parts that are finished complete in volume. Both spindles are the same: 5,000 rpm, an A2-6 nose with an 8 in chuck and Ø52 mm (Ø2.04 in) bar capacity. Maximum turning diameter is Ø248 mm (Ø9.76 in) and maximum turning length is 850 mm (33.46 in).

Victor Taichung describes it as having three turrets with Y-axis and twin spindles, and lists two variants, T2Y2 and T3Y3. The table gives 16 tools for the turret row and a □20 mm shank size. The only row that differs between the variants is weight: 9,560 kg (21,076.16 lb) for the T2Y2 and 11,200 kg (24,691.74 lb) for the T3Y3.

The third, lower turret is what the maker makes the most of. Its stated job is to even out the cutting time between the first and second operations, so that neither spindle waits for the other. It can also stand in as a travelling steady rest, a work rest or a tailstock. That last point matters because the spec table has no tailstock row.

This is a bar machine first. Ø52 mm (Ø2.04 in) through both spindles is the working limit unless the optional large spindle bore of 66 mm is ordered, which lowers the speed to 4,500 rpm. A bar feeder interface and a robotic part catcher are both options.
