Vision Wide VB-2516

Q: How much does the Vision Wide VB-2516 cost?

The price estimate for the Vision Wide VB-2516 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/vision-wide-vb-2516#price; the request is passed to Vision Wide or an authorised dealer.

We do not have a price for the Vision Wide VB-2516 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

Hand scraping is an old skill, and the Vision Wide VB-2516 depends on it. Vision Wide says the box ways of the VB series were heat treated to HRC 50 hardness and precisely hand scraped, then assembled and tuned for smooth and precise feeding.

Why mention it for a machine buyer? Because on a box way machine the fit of the ways is the accuracy of the machine. A scraped surface carries the slide on many small bearing points with oil between them. Done well, it moves without stick-slip and wears slowly; done badly, the axis jerks at low feed. The work cannot be seen in a specification table, so it is worth asking the maker for the geometric inspection report of the machine being bought.

The VB-2516 has 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of X travel and 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of Y over a 2,500×1,300 mm (98.4×51.2 in) table rated for 9,000 kg (19,841 lb).

Cooling is part of the standard build: a ball screw cooling system and a cutting fluid cooling system are both listed. Rapid traverse is 15 m/min on all axes. The spindle is geared, 4,000 rpm as standard, with 18.5/22 kW (24.8/29.5 hp). The control is a Fanuc 0iMF PLUS.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How are the ways of the Vision Wide VB-2516 made?

Vision Wide states that the box ways were heat treated to HRC 50 hardness and were precisely hand scraped, then assembled and tuned to the best accuracy to ensure smooth and precise feeding performance.

02 What is the VB-2516 table size and load?

2,500×1,300 mm (98.4×51.2 in) with a 9,000 kg (19,841 lb) load. X travel is 2,500 mm (98.4 in) and Y travel 1,600 mm (63.0 in).

03 What cooling systems are standard on the VB-2516?

A ball screw cooling system and a cutting fluid cooling system are on the standard accessory list. Through-spindle coolant at 20 / 70 bar and oil mist cooling (MQL) are options.

04 Does Vision Wide publish accuracy for the VB-2516?

No positioning or repeatability figure appears on the VB page. X/Y/Z axis linear scale is an optional accessory. Ask for the inspection report and accuracy values with the quotation.
