Vortex e-V

Features a rigid, thermally symmetrical column that provides extreme stability and prevents heat distortion. With long axis travels, it’s highly precise to process large, complex parts requiring heavy metal removal. It combines full 5-axis machining, vertical turning operations and pallet-changing capabilities to process large, highly complex parts, such as aerospace jet engine casings and gearboxes.

The machine comes with a two-pallet changer that provides unattended operations and off-cycle part setup. This automation allows operators to load, unload and inspect parts on one pallet while the machine works on the other undisturbed.
