MACH first for new Victor machines

The GM Group will make its MACH debut appearance with machines that will ‘wow’ the crowds. On Stand 619 in Hall 19 visitors can witness exactly why the build quality and flexibility of the Victor range stands above its rivals. 

The GM Group will introduce the Victor Vturn-A20YCM and the Vturn-S26/60CM single-spindle turning centres and the Vcenter-P76 VMC. The machines on show will provide just a snapshot of what is possible.  

The turning portfolio has uncompromising levels of rigidity and stability that deliver class-leading precision, flexibility and productivity and the GM Group will highlight the benefits of the compact Vturn A20-YCM single-spindle turning centre with its Y-axis milling capability and an 8-inch chuck with a swing over bed of 700mm whilst a 52mm diameter bar can pass through the headstock for barfeeding applications. The machine provides X-axis travel of 150+35mm with 600mm in the Z-axis whilst the Y-axis driven tooling unit can traverse +/-45mm. Within this spacious work envelope sits a main spindle that generates 11/18.5kW power with a spindle speed of 5000rpm. With class-leading power output and a driven tooling unit that is all manufactured in-house by Victor, the Vturn is extremely well equipped with a list of options that include a FANUC 0i-TF CNC control unit, 10.4 inch colour display, high-pressure coolant system, part catcher, oil skimmer, programmable tailstock and much more.  

Complementing the Vturn A20-YCM will be the Victor Vturn-S26/60CM. With a 600mm swing over bed and 640mm between centres, the 6230kg powerhouse has a spacious work area and a compact footprint. Furthermore, with a 12 position live tooling station that can drive the 25mm maximum tool diameter at 6000rpm with its high torque 4.5kW motor, the milling flexibility of the Vturn-S26/60CM facilitates productive one-hit machining. Like the Vturn A20-YCM, the Victor Vturn-S26/60CM is available with an extensive list of optional extras that enable this machine to be tailored to the exact needs of the end-user. 

From its milling portfolio, the GM Group will introduce the Vcenter-P76 compact 3-axis VMC. Packing the power, rigidity and performance that Victor is renowned for, into a compact machining centre will be something to look out for. With a 2.8 by 2.7m footprint and an X, Y and Z-axis travel of 760 by 500 by 510mm, the Vcenter-P76 is remarkably spacious to facilitate the machining of small and large components alike. Incorporating a 15,000rpm 11/15kW spindle motor with the extremely rigid BBT40 spindle taper configuration, rigidity and performance is guaranteed. The machine is available with a 30 position ATC but like many features on the Vcenter-P76, a host of optional choices can be selected to meet the demands of the end-user. 

The machines on show at MACH will be just a snapshot of what is available from the GM Group. The extensive range of machine tools includes single and twin-spindle turning centres as well as 3 to 5-axis machining centres of all sizes and capabilities.
