The raw-parts are loaded onto the conveyor belt of the first machine. When the machining cycle (OP 10) has been completed, the components are turned and transferred to the second machine for OP 20.

At the China International Machine Tool show (CIMT) that took place from April 20th to the 25th in Beijing, the EMAG Group presented exciting new developments in the machining sector.

For example, the exhibited machines of the VL series - with integrated pick-up automation and easy to link up to other machines - make ideal manufacturing systems for chucked components, optimally suited for the use in production lines for medium and large component batches. 

The VL series consists of vertical pick-up turning machines for the medium and large batch manufacture of chucked components with a max diameter of 400 mm and forms part of the highly successful modular machine concept that EMAG first introduced in 2013.

The special features of the modular machine concept include a uniform basic machine construction that always includes integrated pick-up automation. This distinctive characteristic of the modular machine, where the pick-up spindle loads and unloads the workpieces from an also integrated parts conveyor, forms the basis for the outstanding performance of the VL series.
