Romi’s VT Series vertical CNC lathes includes six models ranging from the VT 1400M with a load capacity of 22,000 lbs to the VT 6000 that can handle 198,400 lbs on the chuck. The ability to effectively machine parts this size are made possible due to Romi’s cast iron monoblock beds, columns and vertical carriage. The robust mechanical structure provides exceptional rigidity, stability and versatility for machining workpieces found in heavy industry, the company says.

The series includes the VT 1400M, VT 2000M, VT 2500M, VT 3000M, VT 5000 and VT 6000 with table sizes from 1,400 mm (55") to 6,000 mm (236”) with a maximum turning diameter from 1,600 mm (63") up to 7,000 mm (276”) and maximum height allowed from 1,650 mm (65") to 4,000 mm (157").

All models feature vertical RAM, C axis, 31 kW live tooling with spindle taper ISO 50 with either a 10- or 20-tool magazine and linear scales for machining precision. The VT Series is equipped with a Siemens Sinumerik 840D SL CNC with a 19" LCD color monitor, USB port and Ethernet interface.
