VERTICAL TURN-MILL CENTER
Turning force into
productive precision.
The AXERA VTM Series is engineered for uncompromising rigidity, precision and long-term reliability. Its direct gear-driven rotary table, Master-Slave transmission, thermally symmetrical one-piece structure and high-rigidity RAM design deliver heavy-duty cutting performance with outstanding thermal stability.
Advanced turn-mill capability, large tooling capacity and maintenance-friendly system architecture reduce downtime and support consistent production in aerospace, energy, oil & gas and other high-value precision manufacturing industries.
ENGINEERING DEEP DIVE
Built for the
hardest cuts.
VTM Structural & Turn-Mill Foundation
The VTM platform combines a direct gear-driven rotary table, Master-Slave transmission system, thermally symmetrical one-piece structure and high-rigidity RAM design to protect geometry during demanding machining.
KEY BENEFITS
- Efficient power transfer with lower wear than worm-gear systems.
- Accurate angular positioning and long-term thermal stability.
- Turning, milling and grinding capability on one productive platform.
Master-Slave Control
Mature master-slave control provides precise angular positioning which perform high accuracy for milling function.
Thermally Symmetrical Structure
A one-piece, symmetrical architecture pairs with a rigid RAM to stabilize accuracy under continuous heavy-duty work.
Aerospace Turn-Mill-Grind Multi-Tasking
VTM-1216GC and VTM-1616GC complete complex aerospace components for both new-part production and MRO applications, using ceramic tools and aluminum-alloy machining with high productivity and surface quality.
KEY BENEFITS
- Ultra-high geometric accuracy for aerospace production and repair.
- High spindle torque for HRSA machining.
- Automatic attachments, tool changes and in-process measurement in one setup.
Advanced Ram & Attachments
A centrally positioned RAM integrates a direct-drive milling spindle and centre-through coolant gearbox. The S1 22 kW / 560 Nm spindle exceeds the typical 400 Nm requirement for HRSA machining.
- Automatic turning head with Capto C6 hydraulic clamping
- Horizontal milling head
- Vertical and horizontal grinding heads
Dual Automatic Tool Changer
A right-side umbrella-type ATC with AAC attachment changer works with a left-side high-capacity disc-type ATC.
Measurement & Auxiliary Systems
- Blum laser/contact tool measurement
- Blum wireless workpiece probing for in-process inspection
- Work-spindle temperature control and fully enclosed guarding
- Chip conveyor, coolant filtration/temperature control and oil-mist extraction
- Sealed hydraulic jaws and manual grinding-wheel dressing
Aerospace & Defence Turning
VTM-1216GC and VTM-2023GC machine mission-critical defence parts in HRSA, stainless steel, aluminum alloys and composite materials. VTM-1216GC is specified for ARROW-3 missile components; VTM-2023GC supports ARROW-4 and ARROW-5 components.
Defence-Ready Materials
Rigidity, thermal control and high-torque machining performance support demanding mission-critical materials.
Aerospace Turning Centres
VT-1216C and VT-1616C use a fixed turning head with bi-directional Capto C8 tooling and a large-capacity tool magazine for continuous high-insert-consumption machining.
Railway Wheel Production & Remanufacturing
VTM machines serve railway wheel and wheel-hub refurbishment as well as high-volume OEM production, using a fixed-crossrail double-column structure and fully symmetrical design for rigidity and thermal stability.
KEY BENEFITS
- Repeatable wheel and wheel-hub machining for aftermarket and OEM lines.
- Automated loading compatibility for continuous output.
- Twin-ram roughing supports high removal rates.
Work Spindle & Workholding
An in-house long-stroke crank-type chuck and custom workholding accommodate automated loading without fixture relocation. Twin spindle motors deliver up to 162 kW total output.
Simultaneous Twin-Ram Machining
- IC32 insert machining
- Depth of cut: Ap 8 mm, maximum Ap 19 mm
- Feed rate: 1.2 mm/rev
- Cutting speed: 120 m/min
- Maximum spindle speed: 350 rpm
Heavy-Duty RAM System

- Fixed Capto C10 hydraulic turning head
- Twin 20-position umbrella magazines
- Minimum twin-ram machining diameter: 256 mm
- High axial thrust for roughing
Mining Machinery & Large Components
VTM-2023GC and VTM-4050GC are designed for heavy-duty machining of oversized mining equipment and industrial components.
KEY BENEFITS
- Large envelope and 50-tonne workpiece capacity.
- One-piece SG cast iron structure for rigidity and damping.
- Interchangeable heavy-duty heads for maximum metal-removal rates.
Large-Scale Machine Structure
A moving-crossrail double-column structure, one-piece spheroidal graphite cast iron body and 340 mm square RAM provide rigidity and vibration damping across a large machining envelope.
Spindle & Modular Head System
- 100 rpm maximum spindle speed
- Triple-bearing spindle for rigidity and service life
- Maximum workpiece capacity: 50 tonnes
- 340 mm square BCCS RAM
- Modular interchangeable upper heads, including a heavy-duty 90° angle milling head
