VTL SC 17 CC Vertical Turret Lathe
VTL SC 17 CC is a vertical turret lathe for machining large-diameter workpieces with stable clamping on a rotating faceplate. With 1700 mm swing, 1450 mm table diameter and 1200 mm turning height, this machine is suitable for roughing and finishing operations on rings, flanges, housings and heavy components where vertical turning provides better rigidity and chip evacuation than conventional horizontal lathes.

This vertical turret lathe (often listed as a VTL or vertical turning center in industrial catalogues) is designed for turning large diameters with the workpiece supported by gravity on the faceplate. The SC 17 CC configuration is typically used for heavy-duty machining tasks such as facing, external and internal turning, boring operations and contour work with a turret head setup, making it practical for repair shops and production lines handling oversized parts.
Vertical turret lathes are commonly selected when large rings or housings are difficult to clamp on a horizontal spindle. The faceplate diameter and swing define the workable envelope, while the turning height determines the maximum part length. With an approximate machine weight of 22 t, this lathe offers a rigid platform for stable cuts and consistent surface finish on large components.
