CNC Vertical Lathe Specification Guide: Choosing from φ800 to φ2000mm Cutting Diameters
Purchasing an industrial-grade cnc vertical lathe machine is a major capital investment. Making the wrong choice can lead to significant production bottlenecks, insufficient machining capacity, or wasted floor space and budget.
At DALIAN WAJI CNC MACHINE, we manufacture highly flexible vertical turning solutions specifically designed for overweight, asymmetrical, or extra-large-diameter rotary parts. To help plant managers and procurement engineers make an informed decision, we have created this comprehensive specification guide breaking down our core series: CK578Fx, CK5112Fx, CK5116Fx, and CK5120Fx.
Step 1: Matching Maximum Cutting Diameter
The first and most critical specification is the Max. Cutting Diameter. This dictates the maximum swing of the workpiece you can physically load onto the machine without hitting the structural columns.
·CK578Fx H/W: Max diameter of φ800 mm. Ideal for medium-sized generator rotor hubs and heavy duty gear blanks.
·CK5112Fx H/W: Max diameter of φ1250 mm. A versatile sweet spot for standard excavator slew bearings.
·CK5116Fx H/W: Max diameter of φ1600 mm. Excellent for large rock crusher bases.
·CK5120Fx H/W: Max diameter of φ2000 mm. The premier choice for massive ship propeller flanges and wind turbine main bearing housings.
(Note: Table Diameters correspond respectively: 720mm, φ1000mm, φ1400mm, and φ1800mm).

Step 2: Evaluating Workpiece Height and Weight
Heavy industry isn't just about width; it's about sheer mass and vertical height.
·Max. Workpiece Height: Our series accommodates variations from H=6 (600mm) up to H=10/12/14/16 (up to 1600mm) for taller parts like marine diesel engine cylinder liners.
·Max. Workpiece Weight (t):
·CK578Fx handles up to 2 tons.
·CK5112Fx handles 3.2 to 5 tons.
·CK5116Fx handles 5 to 8 tons.
·CK5120Fx is built for massive loads up to 8 tons.
Step 3: CNC Control Systems and Precision Features
A powerful machine requires intelligent brains. DALIAN WAJI offers multiple industry-standard CNC Systems globally recognized for their reliability:
·Siemens 828D: Exceptional for complex contouring and high-precision threading.
·FANUC Oi-TF: The global industry workhorse, known for unparalleled uptime and operator familiarity.
·GSK 980TDi: A robust, cost-effective alternative for solid turning performance.
To guarantee machined details at the micron level of precision, our series features Linear Guide Rails for the table guide type, ensuring rapid and smooth traverse (Vertical Tool Post Rapid Traverse Speed up to 3000 mm/min). For advanced accuracy, a Full Closed-Loop Control system is available as an optional upgrade.
Buying 100% Direct from the Source Manufacturer
When you spec out a DALIAN WAJI CNC vertical lathe machine, you are dealing directly with the CHINA LIAONING facility. This means no intermediaries. Every machine undergoes standard factory acceptance testing (FAT) based on real-world application scenarios prior to shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I upgrade to a hydraulic chuck instead of a manual one?
A: Yes. A Manual / Hydraulic Chuck is an optional upgrade across the entire CK series to speed up workpiece clamping.
Q: What is the delivery time for these CNC vertical lathe machines?
A: Because we are the source manufacturer, our delivery time is a highly competitive 3 months, with a supply capacity of 2-5 units per month.
