High Quality- Low Cost
A goal during the development of the
VL 1 TWIN was to achieve consistent,
high quality workpieces – as evident

the process reliability. “Extreme
precision and long-term accuracy are
always an integral part of this machine,”
says Svatek. However, the fact that
these high requirements are achieved
with low investment costs for the user
may be the most surprising highlight
of this technology. EMAG is committed
to rigorous cost control during the
entire development process and also
uses standardized high-performance
components. This is how the price per
spindle was significantly reduced. The
basic machine (without chip conveyor
and automation system) has a footprint
of only 4.59 square meters (50 square
feet) —and this will naturally cuts
costs even further when establishing
a new production process. “With this
turning center, we really bring all the
decisive factors together,” concludes
Björn Svatek. “The VL 1 TWIN ensures
extremely low cycle times, guarantees
high component quality, and minimizes
investment costs. Additionally, we’re
able to configure highly flexible system
solutions for both sub-processes and
complete processes. At the end of
the day, our customers benefit from
significantly lower unit costs.”
