Cycle controls and the option for manual operation mean that VDF DUS turning machines are perfect for turning single parts and small series. Many model versions and a wide variety of options enable tailor-made solutions for your requirements.

Horizontal turning centers or turning-milling centers in the VDF T/TM series are the ideal choice for machining shafts and chuck parts in mass production for the automotive industry and its suppliers and for manufacturers and suppliers in the field of medium- and small-batch production.

Depending on machine type, Hessapp VDM vertical turning machines are ideal for small to large part sizes. These turning machines enable fully automated production, including process monitoring in heavy-duty cutting, hard machining and finished machining of railway wheels, transmissions, chassis parts and the like.

The SMS Accu-Cell is a powerful, highly robust double spindle vertical turning center for use as a stand-alone machine or in conjunction with an integrated manufacturing system. This turning center provides an easily accessible working area for machining a wide variety of workpieces.

The SMS Crusader is a compact vertical turning center. It requires less space and enables easy manual access for loading. This turning center can easily be adapted for loading via gantries or robots to achieve an increase in efficiency and throughput. The compactness, portability and efficient, clear design permit a high degree of flexibility as a stand-alone machine or in conjunction with an integrated manufacturing system.

Hessapp DVH pick-up vertical turning machines with one or two spindles are a guarantee for the highest yield rates and production quality. Numerous options enable the basic DVH machine body to be adapted to individual requirements. These include additional axes (X, Y) for drilling operations or an additional cross slide for 4-axis technology.

Hessapp DVT pick-up vertical turning machines stand for uncompromising complete machining, with the highest precision for subsequent processing. The advantages are particularly evident in the case of two setups next to each other, since the part in the clamped state is passed to the subsequent chuck without any loss in position.

The SMS Challenger is a multi-functional, inverted turning center. The inverted spindle considerably simplifies loading and unloading thanks to the integrated gantry loader. Free chip removal ensures a clean work environment and part precision. This multi-process turning machine offers maximum flexibility for producing high-quality parts, including by turning and drilling, grinding or milling through to boring and thread cutting.

VDF Cx machines for crankshaft machining are perfect for 2-, 3-, 4-, 6- and 8-cylinder crankshafts up to 1,300 mm in length. These turning machines have powerful main and counter spindles and offer two different milling drives with active spindle cooling up to 4,870 Nm torque. The hydraulically swiveling workpiece support enables short setup times when changing parts as well as rapid conversion to four preset workpiece diameters.
