VIGERT C2380 Vertical Milling Lathe – Precision, Power, and Performance

The VIGERT C2380 Vertical Milling Lathe represents a robust, high-performance solution for manufacturers and machining professionals who require precision and versatility in turning operations. Known for its rigid construction and advanced CNC control system, this machine is designed to meet the most demanding industrial applications, from heavy-duty metal cutting to complex part production.

As a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) vertical lathe, the C2380 is engineered to handle a wide range of materials including metals, plastics, composites, and even wood. Whether used in the aerospace sector, automotive parts production, energy equipment manufacturing, or general machining, the VIGERT C2380 delivers high accuracy, repeatability, and a level of automation that significantly boosts productivity and quality.

Key Features and Benefits

1. CNC Control for Precision and Efficiency

The VIGERT C2380 Vertical Milling Lathe utilizes CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology to automate machining processes. By following programmed commands, it precisely controls every aspect of the operation—tool positioning, rotation speed, feed rate, and more. This level of control allows manufacturers to produce intricate and high-tolerance components with minimal manual intervention.

CNC control provides:

• Consistent accuracy across batches
• Reduced waste through optimal material removal
• Repeatability in complex part geometry
• Integration with CAD/CAM systems for streamlined workflows

2. Robust Vertical Turning Capabilities

Unlike horizontal lathes, the vertical design of the C2380 allows it to handle large and heavy workpieces more efficiently. Gravity naturally supports the part, reducing deflection and vibration during cutting. This makes it particularly effective for machining:

• Large diameter components
• Short cylindrical parts
• Workpieces that are difficult to fixture in horizontal configurations

3. High-Performance Spindle System

At the heart of the machine lies a powerful spindle, engineered to rotate the workpiece with smooth, stable performance. The spindle’s strength enables high-speed turning operations with minimal runout, ensuring both surface finish and dimensional precision.

Depending on the model specifications, the spindle may feature:

• Variable speed drives
• High torque at low RPM for heavy roughing
• Precision bearings for tight tolerance machining

4. Secure Workpiece Holding System

The VIGERT C2380 offers both chuck and collet systems for securely holding parts during operation. These workholding options are vital in preventing any slippage or vibration that could lead to inaccuracies or tool damage.

• Chucks are ideal for larger parts with irregular shapes.
• Collets are used for smaller, more uniform workpieces needing precise centering.

5. Versatile Tooling with Tool Turret

The automatic tool turret enables the C2380 to switch between multiple cutting tools without manual input, significantly reducing downtime and setup time. Each turret position can be programmed for different operations such as turning, facing, grooving, or threading—making it an ideal solution for complex parts in a single setup.

This results in:

• Faster cycle times
• Minimal operator intervention
• Capability to machine complex geometries

6. Multi-Axis Control for Advanced Machining

The C2380 is equipped with X and Z axes, allowing longitudinal and vertical movement of the cutting tool. These axes provide a broad range of motion to carry out detailed machining operations.

• X-Axis: Controls the radial movement of the tool relative to the spindle.
• Z-Axis: Controls movement toward or away from the rotating workpiece.

Advanced CNC versions of the machine may offer additional axes (like C-axis or live tooling) to perform milling, drilling, and tapping in a single setup.

7. User-Friendly Programming and Interface

Operators use G-code or M-code programming languages to control the machining process. The C2380 supports industry-standard CNC software, allowing for efficient part design and toolpath generation. With training, even operators with moderate experience can quickly program and run complex jobs.

Most units also feature:

• Intuitive touchscreen interfaces
• Real-time simulation and monitoring
• Tool wear compensation and safety interlocks
