CNC Vertical Lathe Machines for Large Diameter & Heavy Workpieces

Vertical machines are used to turn, bore, and face large-diameter, heavy workpieces that are difficult to fixture in a horizontal orientation. They are commonly used in aerospace, energy, and heavy equipment industries where part size and weight demand a more stable, vertical setup.

CNC vertical lathes are built to handle large-diameter and heavy workpieces. For example, Mazak models like the Integrex e-1850V accommodate very large part diameters, making them suitable for demanding industrial applications in aerospace, energy, and heavy equipment manufacturing.

Yes. Multi-tasking vertical turning centers combine turning, milling, gear manufacturing, and deep hole boring all in a single setup. This is made possible through live tooling and 5-axis capability, significantly reducing the need to move parts between machines.

CNC vertical lathes are ideal for aerospace and defense, automotive, heavy equipment production, and energy and power generation. These sectors regularly require precision turning, boring, and milling of large, complex, or heavy components such as turbine rotors, engine casings, brake drums, and flanged gear components.

Mazak vertical lathes are equipped with the Smooth CNC, SmoothG, or SmoothAi CNC control systems. These platforms offer intuitive programming, advanced precision, and AI-assisted machining capabilities to optimize performance and reduce cycle times.

Yes. Mazak CNC vertical lathes are automation-ready and support integration with automated loading systems, bar feeders, and high-capacity tool changers. This makes them well-suited for lights-out manufacturing environments where unattended or minimally attended production is required.
