Custom Heavy Duty Vertical & Horizontal Machining Services

Vertical & Horizontal Machining Services represent a comprehensive manufacturing capability, combining the distinct advantages of both machine orientations to produce a wide range of large and complex metal components. This dual approach provides the versatility needed to tackle parts with diverse geometries, from massive rings to long, blocky frames, ensuring optimal efficiency and precision for heavy industries like energy, aerospace, and mining.

Vertical Machining Services: Power and Precision for Rotational Parts
Central to our vertical capabilities is the Vertical Turning Lathe (VTL), also known as a vertical boring mill. This machine is ideal for large, heavy, and often short workpieces with a large diameter. The component is secured flat on a large rotating table, while stationary cutting tools perform operations.

• Equipment: Large-capacity VTLs with tables several meters in diameter.

• Typical Parts: Turbine casings, large flanges and rings, valve bodies, and gear blanks.

• Processes: Precision turning of outer and inner diameters, facing large flat surfaces, boring, and cutting complex grooves and profiles. The vertical orientation uses gravity to its advantage, simplifying the setup and securing of massive, heavy parts.

Horizontal Machining Services: Reach and Versatility for Prismatic Parts
Our horizontal machining is anchored by the Horizontal Boring Mill (HBM). With this machine, the workpiece remains stationary on a table while the tool spindle moves horizontally. This configuration is perfect for long, heavy, or awkwardly shaped parts that are difficult to mount on a VTL.

• Equipment: Floor-type and table-type HBMs, often with rotary tables (4th axis) and multi-axis capabilities.

• Typical Parts: Large gearbox housings, machine bases, press frames, and pump casings.

• Processes: Deep-hole boring and drilling, milling vast, flat surfaces, machining ports and features on multiple sides of a part (with a rotary table), and creating precise hole patterns.

By integrating both vertical and horizontal machining, we offer a complete, single-source solution, selecting the best machine and process for each feature to maximize accuracy and minimize setups.
