EMAG displays its VL 4 Turning Machine at IMTEX 2015
The EMAG products cover the entire spectrum of machining processes in the metal working industry. At IMTEX 2015, the company has exhibited its head-turning product VL 4, one of the model in the VL series turning machines.
Components are becoming smaller and smaller without sacrificing sharp precision whether it is the car engines, energy management or general mechanical engineering. The VL 4 turning machines provide an efficient solution to innumerable production challenge.
With its variety of technology centers EMAG has become an important partner in the realization of complete process streams for the manufacture of transmission, engine and chassis components.
The design of the new VL 4 turning machine allows various flexible production technologies to be used for both soft and hard machining.
